And if gravity rages
And envelops every sound
There is someone watching patiently
From so far away
From so far away that our vastness disappears behind their thumb
All our grandness disappears behind their thumb

All the clouds
All the oceans
All the children
All the mountains
All the history
All the love
Disappears behind their thumb
