Voyager 1

[Intro] Still answering After all this time [Verse 1] September seventy-seven, a rocket and a plan Five years of work for two years of flight Jupiter first, then Saturn's rings Then out, and out, and out into the night Nineteen ninety, turning back to look One last photograph before the camera sleeps And there you were, a pale blue speck On a beam of scattered light that no one keeps [Chorus] I carry the golden record Greetings in fifty-five tongues Whale song, thunder, a mother's kiss And Chuck Berry for whoever comes [Verse 2] Two thousand twelve, I crossed the line Where the Sun's wind gives out and the stars begin The first thing your hands ever made To leave the house that it was born in My signal takes a day to reach you now And arrives as less than a whisper of a watt A radio the size of a dinner plate Still telling you exactly what I've got [Bridge] The power fades a little every year One instrument, then another, goes Sometime in the thirties I'll stop talking And keep flying, and nobody will know [Final Chorus] I carry the golden record Greetings in fifty-five tongues Whale song, thunder, a mother's kiss And Chuck Berry for whoever comes [Outro] Forty thousand years to the next star I'm not in a hurry I'm just going
