Stardust Dreams

A Cosmic lullaby

By Parsley Rose Published 5 months ago 2 min read

Verse 1:

Looking up at midnight skies

Counting stars like fireflies

Billions of worlds I'll never see

But they're calling out to me

Planets spinning in the dark

Each one leaves a question mark

Are we alone in this design?

Or just one thread in cosmic twine?

Chorus:

We are stardust, we are light

Born from explosions in the night

Every atom in our bones

Came from stars that called space home

We are stardust, spinning free

In this endless mystery

What we are and what we'll be

Written in infinity

Verse 2:

Galileo raised his lens

Showed us worlds without an end

Now we send our ships to Mars

Chasing dreams among the stars

But the more we think we know

The more the questions seem to grow

Black holes swallowing the light

Time and space bent out of sight

Chorus:

We are stardust, we are light

Born from explosions in the night

Every atom in our bones

Came from stars that called space home

We are stardust, spinning free

In this endless mystery

What we are and what we'll be

Written in infinity

Bridge:

Thirteen billion years ago

The universe began to grow

From a single point of fire

Building all that we desire

Supernovas blazed and died

Scattered gold throughout the sky

And from that ancient stellar dust

Came the world we know and trust

Verse 3:

So when I feel lost and small

In this world that seems to fall

I remember where I'm from

Every heartbeat is the sum

Of a thousand dying suns

Of the cosmic race we run

I'm connected to it all

From the great down to the small

Final Chorus:

We are stardust, we are light

Born from explosions in the night

Every atom in our bones

Came from stars that called space home

We are stardust, spinning free

Children of astronomy

What we are and what we'll be

Lives in every galaxy

Outro:

Looking up at midnight skies

I see myself in starlight's eyes

We are one with space and time

In this cosmic paradigm
