[Verse 1] I watched a thought become a picture Watched a sentence learn to sing Built the world I saw at midnight Without knowing everything Every wall I used to run into Has a doorway glowing blue And I can’t deny the wonder Of what suddenly I can do [Pre-Chorus] But every morning it’s faster Every evening something new I’m staring at a revolution That doesn’t need permission to move [Chorus] Oh, beautiful machine Show me things I’ve never seen I’m terrified and fascinated By everything that we could be Beautiful machine Are you opening the cage? Or are we running toward a future That is learning faster than we age? [Verse 2] I can speak across the languages I can prototype a dream Turn the fragments in my head Into something other people see But somewhere in that miracle A little question starts to grow: When everyone can make anything What makes anything my own? [Bridge] I don’t want to stop the future I just want to understand How to keep a human heartbeat In a world built on command [Final Chorus] Beautiful machine Keep the impossible coming I’ll meet tomorrow frightened But I won’t meet it running
