Reach for the Stars - Astronomy for All


The universe is vast and wide, a thing we all can share
It's yours, it's mine, it's everyone's; we all just have to care
The universe is quite a place for us to all explore
It holds more stars than all the grains within a sandy shore

We scan the skies with telescopes, and also satellites
Learning 'bout the properties of these distant points of light
We turn our eyes to outer space and see the past unfold
And from these clues we might decide just what the future holds

To every child, to every man, look up, spend time to gaze
To the heavens lying up above filled with wonder to amaze
Look up above and share the skies, the universe is for free
And learn the science of the stars through your curiosity

Orb of Light

Glued above the sky at night
Glowing orb of shining light
Sweet reflection of Sun's rays
Changing faces day-by-day

Blemished scars of meteors fall
Seen in shadowed crater walls
Holds the story of time past
In its surface record cast

In Earth's shadow masked in blood
Coat of fear, drives people mad
Hide the Sun through full eclipse
Fill the day in darkness bliss

Pull the seas up with your tides
In your light let starlight hide
And high above, let ring of light
Surround you in such glorious sight
