Verse 1 (Piano / Sparse) A spark in the dark before time had a name A whisper of light in a silence untamed From dust into breath, from breath into flame We rose with a question no night could contain Atoms remember the fires they’ve known Carried in marrow and carved into bone We are the echo of ancient explosions Learning to speak in a language of oceans Every star that we chart in the sky Burns in the blood of the wondering mind We are the universe waking Eyes made of starlight and clay Matter and meaning colliding Dreaming itself into day Lost in the infinite turning Found in the questions we raise We are the universe learning To stand in its own amazed gaze Galaxies spiral like thoughts in a brain Time is the rhythm that pulses our veins Gravity pulls like a longing within Bending the fabric where stories begin Conscious and fragile, defiant and small Yet holding the map of the whole in us all In every heartbeat, in every breath drawn The cosmos is asking what form it has worn If we are dust, then dust can see If we are waves, then waves can dream If we are chance, then chance believes In something more than entropy The void is not empty — it sings through our fear The silence is listening whenever we hear We are the universe waking Eyes made of starlight and clay Matter and meaning colliding Dreaming itself into day Lost in the infinite turning Found in the questions we raise We are the universe learning To stand in its own amazed gaze
