[Intro] Before we had language, we had longing. Before we had gods, we had trembling. (hum-DA) (hum-DA) [Verse 1] “You have captivated me,” the first lovers said, “let me stand tremblingly before you.” The ache of wanting someone so deeply your armor falls away and you stand there bare and brave. [Pre-Chorus] Hold me like I’m ancient. See me like I’m sacred. This is the oldest truth we carry. [Chorus] I’m trembling before the universe — hum-DA. Just like they did. I’m trembling before the universe — hum-DA. Love makes us human. I’m trembling before the universe — hum-DA. Small but shining. I’m trembling before the universe, right here tonight. [Verse 2] The sages sang that in the beginning there was neither existence nor non-existence. Just a question hanging in the dark. And maybe that’s what love is too— the courage to sit with the mystery and not run. [Bridge] Let all be silent. Let the rivers still. Let the stars hold their breath. In the quiet, we hear our own hearts. (hum-DA) [Drop] Trembling, trembling, trembling. Trembling, trembling, trembling. (hum-DA) Trembling, trembling, trembling. [Final Chorus] I’m trembling before the universe — hum-DA. Just like they did. I’m trembling before the universe — hum-DA. Love makes us human. I’m trembling before the universe — hum-DA. Small but shining. I’m trembling before the universe, right here tonight. [Outro] Before we had language, we had longing. Before we had gods, we had trembling. (hum-DA) (hum-DA)
