Lookin’ for your place in the universe-
Don’t you know the universe
Is looking too?
Looking for its place in you,
And now it’s coming through, your dream is coming true!
Welcome to the party, Mr. Universe,
We’re so glad we are a part of you.
Meet the rocks and flowers, the seconds and the hours.
The splinters, winters, apples, chapels,
Teardrops, temples, cats, and castles-
Anything that you can be, the things you see and cannot see are Mr. Universe…
...Mr. Universe.
The song isn't as happy as you expected. But it's not sad, either.
...It's actually kind of nice. You might listen to it again sometime.
The time is now 7:00 AM.
