Zeta by Messier 16 Lyrics

We ride on the shoulders of giants
Of past surmounts and discoveries
We ride on the shoulders of giants
For the setting suns and rising moons

You had high trust in complacency
Before you knew what it meant
A generation held in fallacy
With peaceful, blissful gloom

We see more and farther than our predecessors
Not because we have keener vision or greater height
But because we are lifted up

And borne aloft on their gigantic stature
In that, we are not alone in being here;

We ride on the shoulders of giants
Of past surmounts and discoveries

As each giant call to his companion
Through the desolate intervals of time
We climb up and out together
We ride on the shoulders of giants
For the setting suns and rising moons

We see more and farther than our predecessors
Not because we have keener vision or greater height
But because we are lifted up
And borne aloft on their gigantic stature
