Digicult - Cosmic Company lyrics

In our generation, it has finally become possible
To do more than merely, discourse and philosophize on these matters.
This is about a quest.
Are there thinking beings, elsewhere in the universe.
Island societies separated by the vast reaches of interstellar space

Intelligent life in space (life in space, life in space)
So we're going to talk about the cosmic company

Intelligent life in space (life in space)

There have been a hundred thousand generations of humans before you
And I'm quite confident that
Members of every one of those generations have
Looked up into the night sky and wondered whether there was
Something or somebody up there looking back (back, back..)

We build our civilization here on Earth
And celebrate our slow accomplishments
Our art, our technology
In our generation, in the last half of the twentieth century
It has finally become possible
To do more than merely, discourse and philosophize on these matters.
This is about a quest.
Are there thinking beings, elsewhere in the universe.
Island societies separated by the vast reaches of interstellar space
Brace yourselves, put on your seat-belts particularly
And lets get underway here.

We may finally learn the truth about a question
That mankind has undoubtedly asked
Are we alone in the universe?
