Having just watched the beginning of Neil Degrasse Tyson’s new Cosmos series, I was inspired to write a song by Giordano Bruno‘s statement to is inquisitioners that, “Your God is too small.”

Can you look up at the stars and wonder
All the spells we’ve fallen under?
All the space that goes unsaid
Because I have wondered about distance
Preordained or happenstance
I know the limits of my head

And if you think you’ve got it pegged
I beg to disagree
It is all much too small for me

I would offer you my hand, it’s true
I’ve often wondered what to do
I love you with all my heart, you know
But if the rules and harsh harsh words
Have no affect on beasts or birds
I want to give my mind time to grow

And if you think you’ve got it pegged
I beg to disagree
It is all much too small for me

All of the starlight shining on your face
With the life of a billion stars
Do you ever wonder
Where in time you are?

And if you think you’ve got it pegged
I beg to disagree
It is all much too small for me
