(quote from interview with Bill Moyers)
Back when we thought Earth was alone in the universe
We learned there were other planets
That the Earth was just a planet, one of many
"Well the sun in surely special"
No the sun is just one of a hundred billion other suns
"The galaxy? The Milky Way?"
No the galaxy is one of a hundred billion galaxies
"How about the universe?"
TYSON:
We're on planet Earth, living in this universe
It's all we're gonna know, from the cradle to the hearse
I'm tryna educate from me to all of yours
Spittin scientific knowledge up in each and every verse
StarTalkin' through a spacetime odyssey
Leading you to question what is truth and what is fallacy
You are a part of me. And I'm a part of you
Cuz we're all made up of star stuff. So what you wanna do?
Come together in a universal unity
Take us to a place where we can be free to be you and me
Intergalactic. That is our tactic
Changing up the game like a number one draft pick
Make you think different than you ever thought
It's so enticing, promoting science through a work of art
We're bringing balance. Evening the plane
If you didn't know it then you better remember the name
NDT:
(quote from interview with Bill Moyers)
Why should nature make anything in ones?
We also have good theoretical grounds for suggesting
The existence of a multiverse
Where our universe is just one of some countless number
Of other universes coming in and out of existence
TYSON:
It's T-Y-S-O-N. TYSON!
Neil DeGra**e and Stephen Joseph are the right ones
To educate and entertain you at the same time
He does it through TV and I do it through rhyme
Our minds shine bright like illumination
To help improve the situation plaguing all our nations
We need to be more scientifically literate
If we're gonna innovate to recreate and flip the script
One of a kind, multiply it by a billion
What we think we know will be surpa**ed by our children
Science, Tech, Engineering, Mathematics
Will help to bridge the gap and teach people new tactics
It shouldn't shake your faith if there's a creator
Or if you think there's nothing, I don't care I'm no debater
Everything depends on how you choose to live your life
If you're tryna help another or you're tryna add strife
Improve your life, get your act together dang it
We gotta help the planet, control it, you gotta claim it
Don't understand? Ball your hand, raise a fist!
This little blue rock is all we got, catch my drift?
Think critically, the Big Bang history and
Evolution of body and mind are still a mystery
So as we work to put together all the facts
It's up to NONE of us to just kick back and relax!
NDT:
(quote from Bill Moyers interview)
There is no known objects accounting for
Most of the effective gravity in the universe
Something is making stuff move
That is not anything we have ever touched
Something is making the universe accelerate
TYSON:
Acceleration. To help our nation
Right on time like we pulled into the station
This creation's an introduction
To spark thought and give the people a discussion
Shout out the Russians, for making Sputnik
To give the Space Race a necessary uptick
Until the moment that we landed on the moon
A further destination has gotta be coming soon (Mars!)
If you consume the conversation
It gets simpler, removing complication
Emancipation. It is your liberty
To be free so that you can come and chill with me
And we can break bread. Drop knowledge
Make the people of the planet feel like they're in college
Call it a scholarship the way I share my gift
And give it up to Neil for giving people a lift!
NDT:
(quote from StarTalk Radio)
With that going on, I'm not even necessary (*laughs*)
Let's do more of that!
