If I Were a Lowly Photon

I wouldn't weigh a single ounce
 I'd be a tiny massless little particle
 The smallest nature will allow
 And I'd be born within a stellar furnace
 In a far away star
 Sailing through the endless darkness
 Straight to where you are
 If I were a humble photon
 I'd be the smallest little thing
 If you tried to subdivide me
 You'll find I'm not made of anything
 And I'd be born within a stellar furnace
 In a far away star
 Sailing through the endless darkness
 Straight to where you are
 And I'd fly at the speed of light
 For a million years
 Before I finally arrived
 Through the atmosphere to land upon your eye
 I wouldn't carry any charge
 Although you might confuse me with a proton
 They don't carry light from stars
 I'd be a gamma ray or x ray
 Or just a microwave
 Or infrared, or radio
 Or the light that we all know
 At times I'd act just like a particle
 Sometimes like a wave
 Plants could photosynthesize me
 I never would decay
