CELLULAR HYMN

[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse]
There's a factory in every cell of me
Working night shift through eternity
Converting sugar into fire
While I trip through small desires
[Chorus]
And the bacteria sing hallelujah
In the cathedral of my gut
They’ve prayed for millions of years
While I learn to measure up
[Verse]
I used to think I was the landlord here
But I'm renting space from pioneers
Who crossed the cellular divide
To make the home where I reside
[Chorus]
And the microbes sing hallelujah
In languages I'll never know
Creating symphonies of survival
While I learn how to let go
[Verse]
You want to know the secret, friend?
It's written in the compost bin
Where yesterday's ambitions rot
Into tomorrow's medicine
Mycelial network underneath
Connects the forest like a prayer
Trading nutrients and information
It’s an underground thoroughfare
[Chorus]
There's wisdom in decomposing
There's gospel in decay
What we thought was death was simply life
finding another way
[Verse]
I've been fighting with my body
Like it was some kind of sin
But every cell's a congregation
That is worshipping within
[Chorus]
So I'm learning how to listen
To the sermon in my bones
Where ten trillion tiny teachers
Are calling me back home
[Instrumental]
[Verse]
We’re not se-pa-rit, you and I
We breathe the same ancient air
That passed through dinosaur lungs
And’s still carrying their prayer
The carbon in your wedding ring
Was forged in dying star
The water in your morning tears
Has traveled oh so far
[Chorus]
From the oceans to the clouds
From the clouds back to the sea
We're all temporary arrangements
Of mind boggling eternity
[Instrumental]
[Verse]
So when you feel that ache inside
That hollow, hungry space
Remember you're not broken
You're just longing for your place
[Chorus]
In the web that holds us all
In the dance that never ends
Every end is a beginning
And every stranger is your friend
[Chorus]
And the bacteria sing hallelujah
In the cathedral of my gut
They've been praying for millions of years
While I'm learning to measure up
[Chorus]
And the microbes sing hallelujah
In languages I'll never know
Creating symphonies of survival
While I learn how to let go
While I learn how to let go
While I learn how to let go

[Instrumental Outro]
