Bang went the gun on their tongue
Word crucifixion toward immigrants shunned
"Immigrants that's who we all are
'cause we're all made of stars"
You said to them
Oh yes you did.
Bang went the universe
Hydrogen lusting for helium's burst
A mighty sun's dance of death
Exploding super nova
One story's end
Seeds another to begin.
Then the heavens opened
And then I heard voices
Joined in hosannas
Breathlessly I saw your star.
So bright it blinded me
I had to shield my eyes
So bright it blinded me
I had to shield my eyes
So bright it blinded me
I had to shield my eyes.
And then you took my hand
Oh yes you did.
Bang the world now traumatized
By a cluster of hostile humans who side
With their warlords of hate
So we must out-create
With the the backbone of night
To rehumanize.
Then the heavens opened
And then I heard voices
Joined in hosannas
And their tower of confusion
Could not drown the light
From your star.
So bright it blinded me
I had to shield my eyes
So bright it blinded me
I had to shield my eyes
So bright it blinded me
I had to shield my eyes.
And then you lit the path
Oh yes you did.
"Can't they see"
He said to me
"That we all
Are molecular machines"
Goals and dreams
All I wanna be
Is the very best
Machine I can be.
Oxygen and carbon
Part of
Our molecular machine
Goals and dreams
All I wanna be
Is the very best
Machine I can be.

All I wanna be
Is the very best
Machine I can be.

A molecular machine.
