Overture

[Verse 1]

It starts

With our eyes well acquainted with the dark

The mind was made to illuminate the heart

And when every constellation

Suddenly appeared

Through telescopes and calculations

The far was pulled so near

[Chorus]

Even after everything we've seen

We've barely caught a glimpse of what it means

In the architecture of the soul

The universe began with our eyes closed

[Verse 2]

We claim our land

We tame our seas

We carve our names

On the surface of history

'Til our hands get tired

By the stubborn will of gravity

[Chorus]

Even after everything we've seen

We've barely caught a glimpse of what it means

In the architecture of the soul

The universe began with our eyes closed

[Verse 3]

In the rise and fall

Of a newborn's chest

Like the ocean swells

We inhale, exhale and reset

Every living thing

Is in this constant state of unrest

Even after all our history

We've barely caught a glimpse of what it means

In the architecture of the soul

The universe began

[Chorus]

Even after everything we've seen

We've barely caught a glimpse of what it means

In the architecture of the soul

The universe began with our eyes closed
