Echoes Of Starlight by Climbing PoeTree Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The human body is made up of thirty seven trillion cells
There's seven billion humans on Earth
That's fourteen billion hands to do the work
Of undoing the disconnection
Which brings us to the now
Of instant gratification
And perpetual forgetfulness
The disease of loneliness is spreading
Like an epidemic
That leaves a single tree standing
Where there was once a forest
[Verse 2]
My journey through life is a lot like yours
Carried by a hundred thousand miles of blood vessels
Pumping life into lungs
That take in five percent of oxygen
But it's getting hard to breathe (so hard)
So much so that we can look up various forms of strangulation
(I can't breathe!)
Has moved the consciousness of a nation
I wonder when it will move its feet (when)
[Verse 3]
Oil companies make a hundred billion dollars a year
The observable universe has a hundred billion galaxies
(Can you believe that?)
Human fallacy would like us to believe
That the truth of our wholeness
Comes from the little things we can see (little things)
But the truth is
That whether or not you can see stars in the night sky
If you are standing just right
Two thousand stars are visible to the unaided eye
[Verse 4]
We travel five hundred eighty four million miles around the sun in one year
Orbiting one star
Our galaxy holds three hundred billion
The poetry of the unknown
Is written in the indescribable
We're unfolding pages
From the universe survival
[Verse 5]
Galaxies move towards each other
Like souls not yet born
Know when to return to meet their lover
Andromeda's moving towards the Milky Way
At two hundred fifty thousand miles per hour
A speed that would get us to the moon in just under an hour (one hour)
We won't be there when they collide
Our sun will long have faded (long, long, long faded)
But when they do, they will be mirrors of what we used to do
When love dipped into the divine
Before the divide in us was more
Than the great pretending of current human history
[Outro]
(Change)
Change is constant (change)
Like the universe is expanding
The human body is made up of thirty seven trillion cells
There's seven billion humans on Earth
That's fourteen billion hands to do the work
Of undoing the disconnection
Which brings us to the now
Of instant gratification
And perpetual forgetfulness
The disease of loneliness is spreading
Like an epidemic
That leaves a single tree standing
Where there was once a forest
[Verse 2]
My journey through life is a lot like yours
Carried by a hundred thousand miles of blood vessels
Pumping life into lungs
That take in five percent of oxygen
But it's getting hard to breathe (so hard)
So much so that we can look up various forms of strangulation
(I can't breathe!)

I wonder when it will move its feet (when)
