The Drake Equation

Staring out into the stars Pondering this world of ours So many questions Wondered by us all We sit and contemplate No answers seem to circulate Where did we come from And which way should we go We journey out into the space Such quiet dark surrounds this place Our search for earth-like worlds May hold the key I can't believe that we're The only ones existing here This universe hides More than we can see Shatter your uncertainties Assemble all the quantities Calculate and break the limits Of technology Are we alone, are we the only ones out Searching for the answers In this ever-growing, always changing Space and time Are we alone, is there another world Expanding for tomorrow Look to the equation and you'll see The probability What will we find, what will we see Will they be friends or enemies Will they see us equal Or a disease they don't need Shatter your uncertainties Assemble all the quantities Calculate and break the limits Of technology Are we alone, are we the only ones out Searching for the answers In this ever-growing, always changing Space and time Are we alone, is there another world Expanding for tomorrow Look to the equation and you'll see The probability With time we'll know Someday the truth will show The answer to are we alone Shatter your uncertainties Assemble all the quantities Calculate and break the limits Of technology Extend the computation Include all variables that you see Describe and multiply What knowledge it can bring Are we alone, are we the only ones out Searching for the answers In this ever-growing, always changing Space and time Are we alone, is there another world Expanding for tomorrow Look to the equation and you'll see The probability Are we alone, are we the only ones out (With time we'll know) Searching for the answers In this ever-growing, always changing Space and time Are we alone, is there another world Expanding for tomorrow Look to the equation and you'll see The probability Assemble the equation
