There's a luminescent string so fragile
From a butterfly's frail wings
Made of random links and numbers
So tiny you can't see
That string leads to the rise of
Giant empires not yet dreamed
If you catch just one glimpse of it
Its beauty makes you weep
A child's spirit wanders rainstorms
Dancing in them like they're mad
If you find them and embrace them
They bestow on you a laugh
There's a lesser known equation
Where x is your delight
And y is innocence
And it proves they both were right
And all the wonder
All the wonder you can see
Sublimity
I've seen my share of horror
More than most you know
I know the weight of pain
That feels like more than you can hold
Yet in the depths of pi's long numbers
A creature roams the ciphers there
There's redemption here in wonder
Beauty that can still bring tears
In the deep of space there's a comet
Where demon children play
And a bird of fire protects them
As they fly through cold, deep space
They're dead now all the others
And I am all that's left
We too were precious creatures
We too deserved to live
All the wonder
All the wonder you can see
Sublimity
We thought inside the great unconscious
If we grew a special place
A charming town so quaint and wondrous
We could all live there some day
If enough people believed it
It would grow and become real
We'd move there and we'd not
Become the things that kill
We tried to save the city
I know we have our share of sins
But we did the best we could
And i still want so much to live
There was nothing else quite like us
We were the only of our kind
Can't you see it's all so precious
This sweet and bitter life
All the wonder
All the wonder you can see
Sublimity
