Atoms

from Small by Robin Tymm

/

lyrics

There’s a hundred billion atoms in a single human hair
And each one of ‘em made almost entirely of air
So although we think we’re here right now we’re nearly not all there
A hundred billion atoms

There’s a hundred billions stars up there and that’s just what we can see
Each one orbited by planets, helped along by gravity
So if this world’s so insignificant, well what does that make me?
A hundred billion stars

CHORUS
That is more or less as many drops of water in the rain
Plus or minus all the sand if you count each and every grain
Roughly equal to the neurons lying dormant in my brain

A hundred billion breaths are took each minute every day
Some a first and some a last and some just gasps along the way
So put aside you thoughts of failing, keeping inhaling come what may
A hundred billions breaths

And a hundred billion souls will live before this place is gone
Time had barely blinked an eye and then the human race was run
We’ll spend eternity just coldly spinning slowly ‘round the sun
A hundred billion souls

CHORUS
That is more or less as many drops of water in the rain
Plus or minus all the sand if you count each and every grain
Roughly equal to the neurons lying dormant in my brain

BRIDGE
I've been looking for some answers, oh, and heaven knows I've tried
I’ll never reach what’s far beyond me, never see what’s deep inside
I have searched for truth in words but heard the numbers never lie
No, they never lie

So there’s a hundred billion atoms in a single human hair
And each one of ‘em made almost entirely of air
So although we think we’re here right now we’re nearly not all there
Really not all there
Not all there
Not all there
