lirik lagu william shatner - so fragile, so blue

[part 1: lifting off]
how many times did i hear
sp~ce the final frontier
like a punchline or jeer
used to pull me apart

now at 90 years old
could i be that bold
a dream packaged and sold
life to imitate art

the press devoured the story
of my potential glory
to make some sort of history
but how did i feel

potential explosions filled me
with dread
dozens of ways i could wind
up dead
danced in my head
the fear was real

strapped into the craft in my seat
just like star fleet
my heart skipped a beat
and in thе blink of an eye
it all happenеd so fast
a thunderous blast
shot up as clouds passed
punched a hole in the sky

through the earth’s atmosphere
feeling the fear
receding once we were clear
and continued to climb

every sense was awake
no move did we make
till fifty miles up ~ the break
the kármán line

so fragile, so blue
what can we do?
what can we do?
so fragile, so blue
what can we do?
what can we do?

[part 2: sp~ce]
once beyond gravity
we unlocked the key
and set ourselves free
floating around the inside
while some tumbled and danced
in that weightless trance
i had to take my chance
to the window to witness the ride

i needed to see
what was out there for me
in the endless sea
to meet my fate
i could never antic~p~te

what i saw filled me with awe
but also something cold, pitiless
and raw
an instinct to withdraw
a hot coal to be dropped

relentless blackness was all i
could see
like a depthless eternity
a malevolent mystery
that could never be stopped

endless darkness
no twinkling stars
no magical lights
that call from afar
no breathable air
nothing to care
no message to send
no beginnings or ends
no life could sustain
no dreams could remain
nearly drove me insane
and i felt a deep pain
what i saw stopped me cold
collapsed all my breath
all i could see was death
yes, all i could see was death
and a death with no sight
smell, or sound
that’s what i found
that’s what i found
[part 3: the blue dot]
then from the corner of my eye
looking back i could spy
something that made me cry
under a yellow, blue dome

sagan called it a pale blue dot
but until then i’d forgot
on my moonshot
earth is our home

sp~ce has no people, passion or love
an endless question that hangs
from above
we know almost nothing of
where only death waits

we live on the edge of a pin
our air is cellophane thin
but it’s where life begins
it’s what’s at stake

so fragile, so blue
what can we do?
what can we do?
so fragile, so blue
what can we do?
what can we do?

[part 4: touching down]
when i finally touched down
finding my feet on solid ground
a feeling so profound
that i’d never had

no triumph or joy
not like a little boy
who had finally played with a toy
i felt deeply, deeply sad

a sadness so real and so deep
that i might never sleep
but i just have to keep
and let people know

boldly go
boldly go
boldly go

boldly go means to love
to take responsibility of
what’s below and above
and never live to regret

i hope i never recover
from what i discovered
like a long~lost lover
i had left to neglect

mountains, trees, birds, beasts
life~giving water, magnificent feasts
north, south, west, east
all human reactions from terror to fun
all that breathes, swims, flies or runs
literally everything under the sun

every ant that crawls
every ocean squall
snails, lions, sand
the tiniest creatures we don’t understand
redwoods touching the sky
a cat’s glassy eyes
the plains waving grass
the miracle of glass

a beautiful child
gray wolves running wild
every smell fine or foul
every howl, song, or growl
the fire, wind and rain
purest pleasure, piercing pain
the heat of our skin
all original sin
bound up together
built to last forever
connected as one
but coming undone
it’s all ours to lose
a fate that we choose

so fragile, so blue
what can we do?
so fragile, so blue
what can we do?
what can we do?
what can we do?
