If starry space no limit knows And sun succeeds to sun, There's no reason to suppose Our earth the only one. 'Mid countless constellations cast A million worlds may be, With each a God to bless or blast And steer to destiny
I wonder why, I wonder how, I wonder what it means I think Life's mystery might be Solved in this grain of sand it seems
Just think! A million gods or so To guide each vital stream, With over all to boss the show A Deity supreme. Such magnitudes oppress my mind, From cosmic space it swings. So ultimately glad to find Relief in little things.
I wonder why, I wonder how, While round the earth careens, I hold a single grain of sand And wonder what it means. And if I had the eyes to see, And brain to understand, I think Life's mystery might be Solved in this grain of sand.
