When all the laughter
dies in sorrow
And the tears
have risen to a flood
When all the wars
have found a cause
In human wisdom
and in blood
Do you think they'll
cry in sadness
Do you think the
eye will blink
Do you think they'll
curse the madness
Do you even think
they'll think
When all the great
galactic systems
Sigh to a frozen
halt in space
Do you think there
will be some remnant
Of beauty of the
human race
Do you think there
will be a vestage
Or a sniffle or
a cosmic tear
Do you think a
greater thinking thing
Will give a damn
that man was here
