[Verse 1] Beneath the hush of ancient trees, Where roots entwine in silent speech, A river carves the memory of time, Stone and water, shadow and light entwined. Stars awaken in the velvet sky, Their silver breath on the sleeping land, Life stirs in the moss and the marrow of stone— A question rises, unformed, unplanned. [Chorus] Is life the spark behind the eye, Or the hush in the heart of stone? Is sentience the only measure, Or does the cosmos dream alone? We are dust and we are wonder, Bound by time, unbound by mind— Does the river know its journey, Or the star its place in time? [Verse 2] The forest dreams in green and gold, Each leaf a silent chronicle, The stone remembers eons passed, Unmoved by joy, untouched by pain. The star sings in a tongue of fire, Unhearing, unheeded, yet sublime— Does meaning dwell in consciousness, Or in the pattern, the pulse, the rhyme? [Chorus] Is life the song that senses sing, Or the silence that shapes the tune? Is purpose found in feeling, Or in the dance of sun and moon? We are echoes, we are questions, Carried on the cosmic wind— Does the mountain know its stillness, Or the sea its restless hymn? [Bridge] Across the gulf of space and time, A voice without a name replies: “I am the breath in every stone, The longing in the root, the fire in the sky. I am the silence before the word, The shadow behind the flame— Life is more than mind or measure, A mystery without a name.” [Final Chorus/Outro] Is life the dreamer or the dream, The question or the quest? Is sentience a fleeting spark, Or one note in a cosmic rest? We are stardust, we are silence, We are wonder, we are night— In the hush between the heartbeats, We are life beyond the light.
