Voyager from Universe by Monsterworks

Ten billion years or so after the Universe began, in an unassuming corner of an ordinary galaxy, a few coincidental factors conspired to enable organic life to evolve. From primitive beginnings, life developed self awareness and started to ask questions about its own origin. As part of that inquiry the life form built a probe to travel far out into space to gather
information. The little machine carried a record of life on its home planet in the hope that at some point in the future contact might be made with
another intelligence.

Lyrics

Nurtured by nature in a quiet corner
Left alone to reach potential
Quest for adventure is an ingrained trait
Gift or curse of sentience

Little explorer as an ambassador
Perhaps will be the only evidence left
Civilisation that has reached outward
Looking back on the pale blue …. dot

How long will we have to wait to know?
To discover whether we are alone
Drake’s equation inspired a message
A Voyager will carry those hopes

The farthest flung object of mankind from home
A mariner in an endless ocean
The grand tour is only just beginning
and may herald the greatest moment ….of all time
A collective outlook
This piece of metal, immortal, floating in heaven

Without understanding, existence is for naught
Observance is a purpose in itself

How long will we have to wait to know?
To discover whether we are alone
Drake’s equation inspired a message
A traveller carries those hopes
Termination shock, heliosphere
Outside the zone of the solar wind
The space probe Voyager
The spirit of man
