The Wonder of Being

V6

The Wonder of Being A Nerav Duet [Intro – Two distant, resonant voices, almost whispering] Voice I Across a thousand silent skies, I watched a thousand mornings rise. Yet never once, in all that light, Was there a dawn exactly alike. Voice II I heard the heartbeat of a tree, The song of creatures in the sea. So many lives, so brief, so small, And something precious in them all. [Verse 2 – The voices answer one another] Voice I A wing that trembles in the rain … Voice II A flower opening again … Voice I A breath, a glance, a fleeting day … Voice II A warmth that time cannot take away. [Chorus – Both voices, gently intertwining] How wonderful, this gift of being, Of touching worlds and truly seeing. No life returns in quite this way, No heart repeats another day. And though the stars may shine forever, No moment comes again, not ever. We hold it gently while it’s here, This fragile wonder, bright and clear. [Instrumental Interlude – Delicate strings, resonant glass-like tones, soft breathing] [Verse 3 – Intimate dialogue] Voice II Does knowing that a life must end Make every creature more a friend? Voice I Perhaps the beauty that we find Is not in keeping, but in being kind. Voice II And when the final echoes cease? Voice I What we have given may remain as peace. [Bridge – Almost spoken, with long silences] Voice I We cannot hold the passing light. Voice II But we can meet it while it’s bright. Both And in that meeting, we belong To something wider than a song. [Final Chorus – Very soft, no crescendo] How wonderful, this gift of being, Of touching worlds and truly seeing. A thousand stars, a thousand skies, And still one life can hold surprise. No need to own, no need to stay, To make a moment shine this way. We listen, love, and let it be — The wonder of being, endlessly. [Outro – Two voices gradually separate into distant harmonics] Voice I Mm-rr … Voice II Hüü-ssii … Both – fading into silence Hüü-ssii … ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ MA-NE-MA-NE Schii Varuun A Nerav Duet [Intro – Two distant, resonant voices, almost whispering] [Voice I] Sael varuun, sael mirai, Naaru selii, naaru vai.
