Relativity

I stand on a marble
That hurtles through space
My orbit and path are unique
Around me the planets
They swirl and they race
While I watch here humble and meek
I'm held to the earth
By a force I can't see
But I strive everyday to take flight
I am energy
I am mass
I am light

So this is my journey
My time on this rock
I'll chart out a course while I'm here
With my modest resources
And my eye on the clock
My perspective unjaded and clear

I study the vectors,
With quantum techniques,
And I pray my equations are right

I am energy
I am mass
I am

Light as it speeds,
Light as it shimmers
Light as it pierces the sky
Something awakes,
It trembles and simmers,
A force that is yearning to fly

But the terrain is unpredictable
Complex mysteries appear
There are paradoxes here to undo

And now relatively speaking,
Something's relatively near

And I'm relatively certain
It's a clue

And it's you
On this marble,
Hurtling through space
With a path just as thoughtful and wise,
I stand here beside you
And I look in your face,
And I see myself in your eyes
Now look all around us
More trav'lers, more eyes
With passions they long to pursue

And there's you.
And there's you.
And there's you.
You.
And there's you.
You.
And there's you.
And there's you.
You.
And there's you.

You.
You.
And there's you.
And there's you.
You.
And there's you.
You.
And there's you.
And there's you.
You.
And there's you.

And we're all on this marble
That hurtles through space
Our orbits and paths are unique
But with someone beside me
To measure my pace
Somehow I'm not quite so meek

So I learn what's important
I evolve and I grow
I reach for your hand and hold tight
We are energy
Energy
Energy
We are mass
We are light
