Lyrics:

[Michael Shermer]

Science is the best tool ever devised

For understanding how the world works

[Jacob Bronowski]

Science is a very human form of knowledge

We are always at the brink of the known

[Carl Sagan]

Science is a collaborative enterprise

Spanning the generations

We remember those who prepared the way

Seeing for them also

[Neil deGrasse Tyson]

If you're scientifically literate,

The world looks very different to you

And that understanding empowers you

Refrain:

[Richard Dawkins]

There's real poetry in the real world

Science is the poetry of reality

[Sagan]

We can do science

And with it, we can improve our lives

[Jill Tarter]

The story of humans is the story of ideas

That shine light into dark corners

[Lawrence Krauss]

Scientists love mysteries

They love not knowing

[Richard Feynman]

I don't feel frightened by not knowing things

I think it's much more interesting

[Brian Greene]

There's a larger universal reality

of which we are all a part

[Stephen Hawking]

The further we probe into the universe

The more remarkable are the discoveries we make

[Carolyn Porco]

The quest for the truth, in and of itself,

Is a story that's filled with insights

(Refrain)

[Greene]

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

[PZ Myers]

I think that science changes the way your mind works

To think a little more deeply about things

[Dawkins]

Science replaces private prejudice

With publicly verifiable evidence

(Refrain)
