C
Everybody lives on a street in a city
G7
Or a village or a town for what it's worth.
And they're all inside a country which is part of a continent
C
That sits upon a planet known as Earth.
And the Earth is a ball full of oceans and some mountains
F
Which is out there spinning silently in space.
F7Cmaj7Em6
And living on that Earth are the plants and the animals
Dmin G7CG7C
And also the entire human race.
C
It's a great big universe
CG
And we're all really puny
G
We're just tiny little specks
GC
About the size of Mickey Rooney.
FF7
It's big and black and inky
CCdim7
And we are small and dinky
GG7C
It's a big universe and we're not.
G7C
And we're part of a vast interplanetary system
G7
Stretching seven hundred billion miles long.
With nine planets and a sun; we think the Earth's the only one
C
That has life on it, although we could be wrong.
Across the interstellar voids are a billion asteroids
F
Including meteors and Halley's Comet too.
F7Cmaj7Em6
And there's over fifty moons floating out there like balloons
Dmin G7C
In a panoramic trillion-mile view.
C
And still it's all a speck amid a hundred billion stars
G7
In a galaxy we call the Milky Way.
It's sixty thousand trillion miles from one end to the other
C
And still that's just a fraction of the way.
'Cause there's a hundred billion galaxies that stretch across the sky
F
Filled with constellations, planets, moons and stars.
F7Cmaj7Em6
And still the universe extends to a place that never ends
Dmin G7CG7C
Which is maybe just inside a little jar!
C
It's a great big universe
G7
And we're all really puny
We're just tiny little specks
C
About the size of Mickey Rooney.
FF7
Though we don't know how it got here
CCdim7
We're an important part here
GG7CG7C
It's a big universe and it's ours!
