Lyrics
[Intro Spoken Narrator]
On the shoulders of giants we stand.
...
And with ignorance to dust we return.
[Lead In - Pipe Organ]
[Verse 1]
From the grand cosmic giants, to particles unseen,
In this universe of wonders, there’s so much to glean.
Superclusters span across light-years, vast and wide,
Down to quarks in a proton, where tiny worlds reside.
Galaxies like cities, with billions of stars,
Spiral arms, dark matter, they stretch out so far.
Red giants, white dwarfs, and nebulous veils,
In this cosmic tapestry, every detail prevails.
[Chorus]
Oh, the cosmos is huge, from the big to the small,
Galaxies to atoms, we've studied them all.
From the supermassive black holes, pulling with might,
To the dancing neutrinos, hidden from sight.
[Verse 2]
Nebulae like clouds, with colors so bright,
Stars form in their cradles, igniting the night.
Molecules make up everything we know,
From the DNA helix to the cosmic show.
Planets orbiting suns in a delicate dance,
Exoplanets hint at life’s possible chance.
Gravitational waves ripple through space-time,
As we chart the cosmos, in rhythm and rhyme.
[Chorus]
Oh, the cosmos is huge, from the big to the small,
Galaxies to atoms, we've studied them all.
From the supermassive black holes, pulling with might,
To the dancing neutrinos, hidden from sight.
[interlude]
[break]
[Bridge]
With telescopes and microscopes, we peer far and near,
Unraveling the mysteries, year after year.
From the Planck scale to the vast expanse,
In the dance of the cosmos, we take our stance.
[Middle 8]
[Verse 3]
Quantum fields and particles, the tiniest of all,
Bosons, leptons, fermions, answering the call.
String theory’s vibrations, dimensions unseen,
In the fabric of space-time, where physics convene.
Higgs boson gives mass, a cornerstone of fate,
In collider experiments, discoveries await.
From the Big Bang’s echo to the farthest quasar,
We map the universe, exploring near and far.
[Chorus]
Oh, the cosmos is huge, from the big to the small,
Galaxies to atoms, we've studied them all.
From the supermassive black holes, pulling with might,
To the dancing neutrinos, hidden from sight.
[Outro]
Dance to the beat of the Universe,
Embrace every day even if it hurts.
[Outro]
Dance to the beat of the Universe,
Embrace every day even if it hurts.
[Fade out 10 seconds]
