about

Astronomers recently found a planet in the Proxima Centauri solar system about four light years from earth, that may contain a habitable planet. I wondered what it would be like if there was life on Proxima b

lyrics

Orbiting Proxima Centauri
They’ve found a planet they call Proxima B

It’s a lot like earth perhaps, or maybe not
These things are hard to discern, from 4.3 light years away

Still I wonder whether there’s someone like you
Someone to talk to, out there on Proxima B
If only you weren’t so far away

Here in the orbit of a mid-sized star, what can I do?

To put things in perspective, I’m but a speck of dust
Floating in nothingness, reading the news
Trillions of stars in billions of galaxies
Time stretching eons, a world full of empty words
And fearful minds

Here in the orbit of a mid-sized star, how alone we are
And whether or not you exist, what can I do?

I’m reminded of Emmanuel Kant
The unknowable essence of things, untouchable truth

Dressed up in fabric woven of gold
The stars spin around me now
And all around you
As if we were one of the same kind
