Clint Black - Galaxy Song lyrics

rate me

When you抮e feeling inside out and insecure,

and life keeps getting you down.

When all life抯 daily worries穐urry through your head.

You don抰 want to even 穏et up.

You just lie around in bed.

When you feel you just can抰 take it anymore

And you wonder what on Earth it is all forYour love life抯 like a war zone

Your TV抯 on the blinkIt抯 enough to drive a drinking man to stop and take a

think

稪ust 穜emember that you standing on a planet that抯 evolving,revolving at 900

miles an hour.It抯 orbiting at 19 miles a second, so it抯 reckoned,

a sun that is the source of all our power.

The Sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see

are moving at a million miles a day.

In an outer spiral orb, at 40,000 miles an hour,

of the Galaxy we call the Milky Way

Our Galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars.

It抯 a 100,000 light years side to side

It bulges in the middle 16,000 light years thick,

but out by us it抯 just 3,000 light years wide.

We抮e 30,000 light years from galactic central point.

We go round every 200,000,000 years.

And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions

in this amazing and expanding Universe.

Our Universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding

in all of the directions it can whiz

As fast as it can go, the speed of light you know, 12,000,000 miles a minute,

and that抯 the fastest speed there is!

So, remember when you抮e feeling very small and insecure

how amazingly unlikely is your birth.

And pray that there抯 intelligent life somewhere up in space,

慶ause I抦 afraid that we抳e been cheated here on Earth.
