about

This song was inspired by astronomer Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson. As he pointed out in many of his lectures, it is not only true that we are in the universe, but that the universe is quite literally in us. The most common elements in the cosmos (that make up the cosmos) are also the most common elements in us. We are “star-stuff”. Obviously, deGrasse Tyson can put it indefinitely more eloquently than I, and his lectures on youtube are well worth checking out - they're fascinating! To me, this is a beautiful fact about the universe, because it literally makes each and everyone of us a part of it. And if religious believers ask me if I (as an atheist) believe that there is something greater than myself, all I have to do is point to the sky and say "are you kidding me?"

lyrics

- Youniverse -

A curious little boy, a child of the stars,
the wonder elicited by the night sky.
The urge to belong, a call from afar
that resonates inside.

Chorus:
The answer lies in hydrogen,
helium, oxygen, nitrogen and mighty carbon.
The ingredients we are made of form the universe in us,
oh, it’s wondrous.

(We belong)

A puny little God, a child of the mind,
the complacency caused by holy scripture.
The urge to belong it renders us blind
to the greatest splendor.

Chorus:
