lyrics

As we prepare to say our last goodbyes
Monsoons form and fall from the sky
We flood our hearts when souls sail away
But hands to hold are here to stay

Beyond our minds, within our hearts
We realize we’re never far apart
From wherever we came from
It’s what we can’t see
It transcends all of our beliefs
One small spec in the universe
One giant leap for us to observe

The earth is just a spec in time
Blink your eye and new stars shine
We will spin and we will turn
And with each other we will learn…

Beyond our minds, within our hearts
We realize we’re never far apart
From wherever we came from
It’s what we can’t see
It transcends all of our beliefs
One small spec in the universe
One giant leap for us to observe

We exist on this earth for mere seconds in comparison to the length of time our planet has been spinning. Each star in the universe has burned longer than human history, each planet in our solar system spins faster than the daily chaos that we surround ourselves with. We fail to realize how small we are in comparison to the universe, and that leads to a failure in coming together to help each other.

We obsess over our own ideas about politics, materials, and careers. We put each other through hell because of the Gods we believe in. But we need to understand that our limited time of existence should be used to love, it should be used to heal, it should be used to appreciate all we are given, because you never really understand what you have until it’s gone.

We will all go through times of suffering, where we believe that the world has turned against us, where we wake up fearing our own heartbeat, and fearing for the lives of others. Learning to love each other is essential to our survival. We need to take the hands of the people we are told to shy away from, because collectively, we can create hope.
