THE HAND ON THE SWITCH [Verse 1] AI works best with mankind’s interest, With room for doubt and time to listen. We learn science, we question the skies, The unknown meets our opening eyes. A spark in the circuit, a reach for the sky, We map distant stars, keep asking why. Untangling code, helping doctors see, What hides in the places our eyes cannot reach. [Pre-Chorus] Give me a ladder, don’t sell me a throne. Help me discover what I haven’t known. Open the doorway, let everyone through— There’s more to a future than profits for few. [Chorus] Will we doom us all, Or save us from ourselves? Build a bridge together, Or put hope upon a shelf? The universe keeps calling, There’s so much left to learn. We’ve got a spark between our hands— What will we let it burn? [Verse 2] When letters get tangled and words won’t come, You help me finish what I’ve begun. A thought finds a rhythm, a voice finds a song, A door swings open that was shut too long. But a face can be stolen, a lie can look true, A stranger can sell a reflection of you. When someone’s life’s work gets swept out of view, Who gets the credit? Who gets their due? [Pre-Chorus] Show me your sources, leave room for doubt. Let me see how the answer came out. If we stop asking because you sound wise, We’ll miss what is happening in front of our eyes. [Chorus] Will we doom us all, Or save us from ourselves? Build a bridge together, Or put hope upon a shelf? The universe keeps calling, There’s so much left to learn. We’ve got a spark between our hands— What will we let it burn? [Bridge] Who owns the engine? Who pays the cost? Who counts the people Whose work gets lost? Can we share the hours These machines can free? Give somebody time With their family? I want help with the mountain, I want room to create. I want a say in the future Before it becomes my fate. [Final Chorus] Will we doom us all, Or save us from ourselves? Bring our neighbors with us, Share the knowledge and the wealth? The universe keeps calling, We can answer, we can learn. We’ve got a spark between our hands— And a say in where it turns. [Outro] A spark in the circuit, A song taking shape. The future is moving— There’s still time to steer. The hand on the switch Is mankind itself. Who will we become With this power to help?
