When youćŽe feeling inside out and insecure,
and life keeps getting you down.
When all lifećŻ daily worriesçŠurry through your head.
You donć° want to even çŠet up.
You just lie around in bed.
When you feel you just canć° take it anymore
And you wonder what on Earth it is all forYour love lifećŻ like a war zone
Your TVćŻ on the blinkItćŻ enough to drive a drinking man to stop and take a
think
稪ust çŠemember that you standing on a planet thatćŻ evolving,revolving at 900
miles an hour.ItćŻ orbiting at 19 miles a second, so itćŻ 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.
ItćŻ a 100,000 light years side to side
It bulges in the middle 16,000 light years thick,
but out by us itćŻ just 3,000 light years wide.
WećŽe 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 thatćŻ the fastest speed there is!
So, remember when youćŽe feeling very small and insecure
how amazingly unlikely is your birth.
And pray that therećŻ intelligent life somewhere up in space,
ć
śause IćŚ afraid that wećłe been cheated here on Earth.
