[spoken intro, female] ok for this next one I want to see all the lights on your phone in the air can we light up this entire room? yes! wow ! you guys! you look so spectacular from up here. we would like to bring you a very special song sometimes we feel so insignificant in this universe but remember my friends without us, there would be Noone here to experience this beautiful moment this beautiful life together and that is special. and it matters. you guys matter! [crowd cheers] [male, spoken] agreed! [female, spoken] well without further ado let's make this brief moment really matter... this is... ephemeral witness [Verse 1] Born in the breath of a fleeting star, a flicker in the cosmic tide. Eons stretch beyond our reach, yet here we stand, and here we fade. [Pre-Chorus] The nebula’s whisper does not know our name, but we are the eyes that behold its fire. [Chorus] Dust adrift on silent waves, we measure time in heartbeats. A moment lost in the endless dark, yet without us, who would know it shines? [Verse 2] Mountains rise, then turn to sand, galaxies drift like autumn leaves. We trace their spirals, count their days, brief hands against the wheel of time. [Pre-Chorus] The void is vast, but it cannot gaze, we are the minds that bring it light. [Chorus] Dust adrift on silent waves, we measure time in heartbeats. A moment lost in the endless dark, yet without us, who would know it shines? [Bridge] The stars do not mourn, nor does the sea, yet we are here, and so they matter. To vanish is not to be unseen, for we are the voice that sings their name. [spoken bridge] Hey hey hey hey! let's see everyone's lights in the air! Hey hey hey hey! yes! [orchestral interlude] [Outro] Let the universe endure, let the ages pass unbroken. We were here, we beheld, and for that, it was known. [final chorus, key change] Dust adrift on silent waves, we measure time in heartbeats. A moment lost in the endless dark, yet without us, who would know it shines? [Outro] Conscious matter We were here We mattered Just a drop in the cosmic sea Yet without us, who would know its grandeur? [spoken outro] thankyou!
