I often sit and wonder,
as I stare at the starry sky,
and at the Big Blue Marble staring back
as the dark of night draws nigh.
Because I have seen so many pictures
of this Earth that I live upon,
which seems a perfect duplicate
of this one that's gone by dawn.
And I can't help but think I'm dreaming,
or that it's a mirror I'm gazing at,
or that this other world truly does exist,
and that I'm on another just like that.
And if it is indeed another world,
and my mind's not gone amiss,
if it's a parallel world of the one I'm in,
another world like this,
if there might be someone sitting there,
if he could possibly be,
staring up at his starry skies right now,
another, just like me.

Incredible!
And I can't help but think I'm dreaming,
or that it's a mirror I'm gazing at,
or that this other world truly does exist,
and that I'm on another just like that.
