[Silence]
[Arrangement: Upbeat synth-rock with funky bass, shimmering guitars, spacey keyboards, and a soaring singalong chorus]
[Intro]
Looking up
(At the stars)
Wondering
(Who we are)
[Verse 1]
Different voices
(Different views)
Different paths
(Different shoes)
Different stories
(Same old sky)
Still we ask
(The reason why)
Drawing borders
(In the sand)
On one tiny
(Piece of land)
While the universe
(Just rolls on)
Long before us
(Long when we’re gone)
[Chorus]
Are you from
(Venus or Mars)
‘Cause… how come
(Sooo bizarre)
Are you from
(Mars or Venus)
‘Cause…
(There’s something between us….)
Perhaps it’s hope
(Or maybe scars)
Are we closer
(Than Venus or Mars)
[Verse 2]
One atmosphere
(One shared air)
One blue planet
(Everywhere)
Different languages
(Same sunrise)
Different dreams
(Same surprise)
Looking outward
(Searching far)
Sending probes
(To every star)
Yet forgetting
(What we’ve got)
The only home
(We’ve ever sought)
[Refrain]
Humanity
(A little blue ball)
Insanity
(All trying to fall)
Humanity
(One family)
Insanity
(Needn’t be)
[Bridge]
Venus burned
(Mars grew cold)
Every planet
(Has its story told)
Ours still lives
(If we’re wise)
The next chapter
(Is ours to write)
[Guitar Solo]
[Synth arpeggios]
[Final Chorus]
Are you from
(Venus or Mars)
‘Cause… how come
(Sooo bizarre)
Are you from
(Mars or Venus)
‘Cause…
(There’s something between us….)
Could be love
(Or in trust)
Maybe knowing
(The future’s us)
[Final Refrain]
Humanity
(A little blue ball)
Insanity
(All trying to fall)
Humanity
(Can still choose)
Whether we win
(Or whether we lose)
[Outro]
Looking up
(At the stars)
Wondering…
(Who we are)
