5. I WANT TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS [Verse 1] Some nights I think we’re building The greatest tool we’ve ever known A second mind beside us To help us reach beyond our own Some nights I see the headlines And wonder what we’ve set in motion A species holding lightning With the patience of an ocean [Chorus] But I want to see what happens I want to see what comes I want to watch the old walls crumble And discover what we become I’m frightened by the distance I’m excited by the view I don’t know if we’re ready But tomorrow’s coming through [Verse 2] Maybe work becomes less central Maybe knowledge becomes cheap Maybe science moves in months Through questions that once took years to reach Maybe lies become much easier Maybe trust becomes the cost Maybe we gain new kinds of freedom While mourning what gets lost [Bridge] There is no clean prophecy No single ending waiting there Just billions making choices With creation everywhere So I’ll keep asking questions Keep my curiosity alive Hope is not believing nothing breaks It’s believing we can try [Final Chorus] I want to see what happens Even trembling at the door There are futures worth protecting And futures worth reaching for I’m frightened and I’m ready Those feelings can be true The future isn’t something coming It’s something that we do
