歌詞
[Verse 1]
How many times did I hear
"Space, the final frontier"
Like a punchline or a jeer?
Used to pull me apart
[Verse 2]
Now, at 90 years old
Could I be that bold?
A dream packaged and sold
Life to imitate art?
[Verse 3]
Oh, the press devoured the story
Of my potential glory
To make some sort of history
But how did I feel?
[Verse 4]
Potential explosions filled me with dread
Dozens of ways I could wind up dead
Danced in my head
The fear was real
[Verse 5]
Strapped into the craft in my seat
Just like Star Fleet
My heart skipped a beat
And in the blink of an eye
[Verse 6]
It all happened so fast
A thunderous blast
Shot up as clouds passed
Punched a hole in the sky
[Verse 7]
Through the Earth's atmosphere
Feeling the fear
Receding once we were clear
And continued to climb
[Verse 8]
Every sense was awake
No move did we make
Till fifty miles up, the break
The Kármán line
[Chorus]
So fragile, so blue
What can we do?
What can we do?
So fragile, so blue
What can we do?
What can we do?
[Verse 9]
Once beyond gravity
We unlocked the key
And set ourselves free
Floating around the inside
[Verse 10]
While some tumbled and danced
In that weightless trance
I had to take my chance
To the window to witness the ride
[Verse 11]
I needed to see
What was out there for me
In the endless sea
To meet my fate
I could never anticipate
[Verse 12]
What I saw filled me with awe
But also something cold, pitiless, and raw
An instinct to withdraw
A hot coal to be dropped
[Verse 13]
Relentless blackness was all I could see
Like a depthless eternity
A malevolent mystery
That could never be stopped
[Verse 14]
Endless darkness
No twinkling stars
No magical lights
That call from afar
[Verse 15]
No breathable air
Nothing to care
No message to send
No beginnings or ends
[Verse 16]
No life could sustain
No dreams could remain
Nearly drove me insane
And I felt a deep pain
[Verse 17]
What I saw stopped me cold
Collapsed all my breath
All I could see was death
Yes, all I could see was death
[Verse 18]
And a death with no sight, smell, or sound
That's what I found
That's what I found
[Verse 19]
Then, from the corner of my eye
Looking back, I could spy
Something that made me cry
Under a yellow, blue dome
[Verse 20]
Sagan called it a pale, blue dot
But until then, I'd forgot
On my moonshot
Earth is our home
[Verse 21]
Space has no people, passion, or love
An endless question hangs from above
We know almost nothing of
Where only death awaits
[Verse 22]
We live on the edge of a pin
Our air is cellophane-thin
But it's where life begins
It's what's at stake
[Chorus]
So fragile, so blue
What can we do?
What can we do?
So fragile, so blue
What can we do?
What can we do?
[Verse 23]
When I finally touched down
Finding my feet on solid ground
A feeling so profound
That I'd never had
[Verse 24]
No triumph or joy
Not like a little boy
Who had finally played with a toy
I felt deeply, deeply sad
[Verse 25]
A sadness so real, so deep
That I might never sleep
But I just have to keep
And let people know
[Verse 26]
Boldly go
Boldly go
Boldly go
[Verse 27]
"Boldly go" means to love
To take responsibility of
What's below and above
And never live to regret
[Verse 28]
I hope I never recover
From what I discovered
Like a long-lost lover
I had left to neglect
[Verse 29]
Mountains, trees, birds, beasts
Life-giving water, magnificent feasts
North, south, west, east
All human reactions, from terror to fun
All that breathes, swims, flies, or runs
Literally everything under the sun
[Verse 30]
Every ant that crawls
Every ocean squall
Snails, lions, sand
The tiniest creatures we don't understand
Redwoods touching the sky
A cat's glassy eyes
The plains' waving grass
The miracle of glass
[Verse 31]
A beautiful child
Gray wolves running wild
Every smell, fine or foul
Every howl, song, or growl
The fire, wind, and rain
Purest pleasure, piercing pain
The heat of our skin
All original sin
Bound up together
Built to last forever
Connected as one
But coming undone
It's all ours to lose
A fate that we choose
[Chorus]
So fragile, so blue
Oh, what can we do?
So fragile, so blue
What can we do?
[Outro]
What can we do?
What can we do?
What can we do?
What can we do?
