Nothing, Yet All

We carve our names in fragile stone Blind to the void we call our home Beneath the stars, so vast, so near We veil our hearts to shield the fear Oh, can you see the endless skies The stars that burn, the time that flies? A fleeting shadow on the shore What are we truly living for? If we could grasp eternity The cosmos' vast serenity Would we still crave the fleeting name Or feel the wonder, not the shame? In the grand design, so small We are nothing, yet we're all We wear our masks, we play the game With hollow hearts, we seek acclaim Yet in the void, where silence screams What worth is power, wealth, or schemes? Oh, can you feel the cosmos hum The perfect dance of what's to come? A spark within the great unknown Why do we think we stand alone? If we could grasp eternity The cosmos' vast serenity Would we still crave the fleeting name Or feel the wonder, not the shame? In the grand design, so small We are nothing, yet we're all The galaxies weave, the stars collide A symphony where truths reside We're threads within the infinite Yet blind to all that makes us lit If we could grasp eternity The cosmos' vast serenity Would we still bow to greed's cruel call Or cherish life, the gift of all? In the grand design, so small We are nothing, yet we're all The universe sings, a timeless chord Life's fleeting gift, our true reward
