There are billions of planets in the Universe

On Earth, it's also the primary building block

Potentially, silicon could be a building block

A candidate for hosting a silicon-based alien life

of the amount of sunlight the Earth does.

as the galactic elixir for their existence.

The lack of oxygen would also be essential

When carbon unites with oxygen, or oxidizes,

silicon would immediately turn into rock,

and no life could possibly begin in that state.

But Titan's atmosphere doesn't contain any oxygen,

Most likely, if there is silicon-based life out there,

Because of the extreme cold on Titan's surface,

And hey, there are many other planets out there.

Some of them might have just the right conditions

Because silicon doesn't get along with oxygen,

the metabolic processes of a silicon-based organism

would have to be entirely different from ours.

But maybe we shouldn't try applying "our" science

and planets we haven't thoroughly explored.

Earth's conditions don't really give silicon
