Lyrics
We all live on this planet
We all share the same Earth.
Giant gentle and blue
Earth is vast, serene, and predominantly blue.
We breathe and walk and wonder
We engage in basic human activities—breathing, walking, and pondering.
A place for me and you
It's a space for both the speaker and the listener.
Why is it that I wake up
Questioning the reason for waking up to a new day.
To a new day's light
Reflecting on the arrival of daylight.
And how come the starlight
Wondering about the brightness of starlight at night.
Shines so bright tonight
Expressing awe at the brilliance of starlight in the current night.
Tell me bout that wonder
Inquiring about the concept of wonder.
How long can it last
Questioning the duration of wonder.
The sun we're living under
Highlighting the ephemeral nature of the sun we live under.
Is burning much too fast
Indicating concern about the rapid depletion of the sun's energy.
We've come a long way searching
Describing a lengthy journey in search of truth.
For what we think is true
Conveying the pursuit of what is believed to be true.
Big machines and bigger dreams
Referring to large machinery and ambitious dreams.
Big illusions too
Noting the existence of significant illusions.
Every beast we've mastered
Mentioning the domination of various challenges.
Every sea we've sailed
Recalling journeys across the seas.
Every fortress conquered
Reflecting on victories in conquering fortresses.
Yet I think we failed
Expressing a belief in human failure despite achievements.
Tell me bout that wonder
Reiterating the inquiry about the concept of wonder.
How long can it last
Revisiting the question of the duration of wonder.
The sun we're living under
Reemphasizing the transitory nature of the sun's existence.
Is burning much too fast
Expressing concern about the accelerated consumption of the sun's energy.
Tell me bout that wonder...
Repeated inquiry about the concept of wonder.
