Lyrics
The Universe Is Waiting For Us
[Verse 1]
We’ve been staring at the same old sky
Tracing questions with our hands at night
Every rumor in the static air
Saying
“You’re not alone out there”
Dusty maps on a bedroom wall
Ships in bottles that could never sail
Now the glass is cracking
Hear it fall
Every hidden dream leaves a trail
[Chorus]
The universe is waiting for us
Our time has come
Our time has come
We’ve waited too long just to turn back now
We rise as one
We rise as one
Our space brothers and sisters call our names
“Come see what’s beyond the sun”
The universe is waiting for us
Our time has come
[Verse 2]
Bare feet on the trembling ground
Whole world holding in its breath
Silver shadows slipping through the clouds
Saying
“Step out
Take that step”
All the stories that we used to hide
Now they’re burning like a runway line
Open door and an open sky
“Are you ready?” flashing in our eyes
[Chorus]
The universe is waiting for us
Our time has come
Our time has come
We’ve waited too long just to turn back now
We rise as one
We rise as one
Our space brothers and sisters call our names
“Come see what’s beyond the sun”
The universe is waiting for us
Our time has come
[Bridge]
Hand in hand at the edge of night (oh-oh)
Feeling small
But we’re shining bright
Every fear falling out of frame
When we hear them softly say our names (hey)
[Chorus]
The universe is waiting for us
Our time has come
Our time has come
We’ve waited too long just to turn back now
We rise as one
We rise as one
Our space brothers and sisters call our names
“Come see what’s beyond the sun”
The universe is waiting for us
Our time has come
