The Drake Equation

Helion Prime

Compositor: Heather Michele / Jason Ashcraft

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
