John Boswell - Poetry of Reality Тексты

Science is the best tool ever devised
For understanding how the world works


Science is a very human form of knowledge
We are always at the brink of the known


Science is a collaborative enterprise
Spanning the generations
We remember those who prepared the way
Seeing for them also


If you're scientifically literate,
The world looks very different to you
And that understanding empowers you

Refrain:

There's real poetry in the real world
Science is the poetry of reality


We can do science
And with it, we can improve our lives


The story of humans is the story of ideas
That shine light into dark corners


Scientists love mysteries
They love not knowing

I don't feel frightened by not knowing things
I think it's much more interesting


There's a larger universal reality
of which we are all a part


The further we probe into the universe
The more remarkable are the discoveries we make


The quest for the truth, in and of itself,
Is a story that's filled with insights

(Refrain)


From our lonely point in the cosmos
We have through the power of thought
Been able to peer back to a brief moment
After the beginning of the universe


I think that science changes the way your mind works
To think a little more deeply about things


Science replaces private predjudice
With publicly verifiable evidence
(Refrain)
