Lyrics

Orphans of the Universe

(Verse 1)
Dust motes dancing in the fading light
Used to be Dad’s laughter, filling up the night
Now it’s just the silence, heavy in the air
Another empty chair, another silent prayer

(Chorus)
Dad's been gone, chasing stars above
Now Mom’s gone too, carried on his love
We're orphans of the universe, adrift and small
But somehow, somewhere, they're still watching us all

(Verse 2)
Remember building forts in the living room?
Mom’s cocoa simmering, chasing away the gloom
Those memories flicker, a fragile, fading flame
Whispering their names, a constant, quiet game

(Chorus)
Dad's been gone, chasing stars above
Now Mom is too, carried on his love
We're orphans of the universe, adrift and small
But somehow, somewhere, they're still watching us all

(Bridge)
We cling to each other, a raft upon the sea
Trying to find the strength, they always taught us to be
Though the world feels colder now, and the future’s undefined
Their love's a constellation, forever in our mind

(Verse 3)
We see them in the sunrise, painting skies so bright
Feel them in the moonbeams, bathing us in light
Hear them in the wind, whispering through the trees
A gentle, constant comfort, carried on the breeze

(Chorus)
Dad's been gone, chasing stars above
Now Mom is too, carried on his love
We're orphans of the universe, adrift and small
But somehow, somewhere, they're still watching us all

(Outro)
Still watching, still watching
Guiding us along
Still watching, still watching
Making us feel strong
Orphans of the universe, but never truly lost
They're still watching us, no matter what the cost.
