        C
Walking out across the fields,
        G
late at night
     Dm
below a dark and moonless sky
       F                 Am
with a million points of light

         C
Feel the weight of years, 
                        G
in each of those bright rays.
        Dm
You only see to walk the path 
       F              Am
by the light of other days

Em                  Am              F
On the shoulders of giants we stand tall
Em                     Am               F
understanding more and more but yet not all

C
É    deep in our past
              G
we thought ourselves
midmost among all places
in between heaven and hell

But we find our Earth was
only one small world
Amidst a vast and varied throng
Spread across a sky unfurled

On the shoulders of giants we stand tall
Even when the things we learn make us feel small

É Newton
probed the reach of sight
And learned to weave a rainbow
out of of many-colored light

And turned that knowledge
to the skies above
With a mirror and his mind
He described the system of the world
 
On the shoulders of giants we stand tall
Yet as below then so above all objects fall

... Through Hooker's gift
on Wilson's heights
Hubble looked beyond the Milky Way
and found countless worlds in flight

Now we curiously stare into 
those red deeps.
through a thousand scopes on earth
And a few beyond her reach.

On the shoulders of giants we stand tall
Before we learn to walk the stars we first must crawl

, footprints on
a dusty beach
We have passed this way before.
Proof of deeds within our reach

Toward a new horizon
pioneers still turn
Reaching farther than before
As our spirit ever yearns

On the shoulders of giants we stand tall
Straining upward, outward; answering that callÉ
