Cause and effect…
(Connect the dots)
One thing leads…
(To quite a lot)

[Refrain]
This is expected
(After what we’ve erected)
Dejected…
(Being connected)
We did
(Yes, we did)

[Verse 1]
Tiny moments, little turns
Become lessons that life learns
Build it up and set it free
What comes next will surely be
Our signal leaves a trace
Moving through time and space

[Pre-Chorus]
What we make
(Can come back)
What we send
(Leaves a track)

[Chorus]

Build a bridge or build a wall

What appears from far away
Often comes back into play

[Bridge]
Round and round
(Here it goes)
What we plant
(Eventually grows)

Piece by piece
(Line by line)
Yesterday
(Becomes tomorrow’s sign)

[Final Chorus]
This is expected

Dejected…

Almost there…
(Or maybe not)
Near enough…
(We’ve got a shot)

[Refrain]
Who knows…
(If this is getting close)
We’ll… here goes
(For another dose)

[Verse 1]
So the answer starts as guess
Some bring more and some bring less
Another step reveals a clue
Then another point of view

Little by little, inch by inch
Moving forward, never flinch
What seemed distant yesterday
Now feels almost on display

[Pre-Chorus]
Take your time
(Don’t rush through)
One more look
(Might change the view)

[Chorus]
Getting close
(Or so it seems)
Following
(Fragments of dreams)

Piece by piece
(Line by line)
Somehow things
(Begin to align)

Who knows…
(If this is getting close)
We’ll… here goes
(For another dose)

[Instrumental]
[Guitar Solo]
[Driving Bass, Organ Chords, Syncopated Drums, Synth Countermelody]

[Verse 2]
Sometimes near is still too far
Sometimes you’ve arrived where you are
As the ending starts to bend
Toward another place again

Questions lead and answers roam
Searching for a place called home
Almost right and nearly true
Can still carry you on through

[Bridge]
Not quite there
(But not behind)
Earn a turn
(Sharpen the mind)

One more try
(One more clue)
What’s uncertain
(Can break through)

[Final Chorus]
Getting close
(Or so it seems)
Chasing down
(Half-formed dreams)

Near enough
(To see the light)
Far enough
(To keep in sight)

Who knows…
(If this is getting close)
We’ll… here goes
(For another dose)

Yeah… here goes…

[Minimal Beat, Spoken Vocal]
One small choice…
(Changes things)
One small stone…
(Makes ripple rings)

[Refrain]
We’ve got
(One planet)
Another “why not”
(Couldn’t plan it)

… endless consequences
(How intricate are our dances?)

[Verse 1]
Doe your action leave a trace
Moving through both time and space
Does your answer, another guess
Shape another consequence

Pull one thread and others sway
Nothing simply stays one way
Tiny moments, great and small
Can become the rise or fall

[Pre-Chorus]
Round and round
(Cause and effect)
What goes out
(Can reconnect)

[Chorus]
One decision
(Branches wide)
One condition
(Turns the tide)

Whatever we say and do
Can find another avenue
Paths converge and then expand
Far beyond what we had planned

We’ve got
(One planet)
Another “why not”
(Couldn’t plan it)

[Instrumental]
[Guitar Solo]
[Driving Bass, Organ Chords, Percussive Piano, Rising Synth]

[Verse 2]
As the system intertwines
Hidden links and tangled lines
What seems distant, what seems small
May affect us after all

[Instrumental, Psychedelic Jam, Saxophone Solo]

[Final Chorus]
We’ve got
(One planet)
Another “why not”
(Couldn’t plan it)

… endless consequences
(How intricate are our dances?)

Step by step
(Turn by turn)
Lesson by lesson
(We slowly learn)

The thing that connects somehow
Through tomorrow and through now
We’ve got one world to understand
And consequences we never planned

[Outro]
[Instrumental Outro: Echo Guitar, Sustained Organ, Fading Synth Atmosphere, Deep Bass Pulse]
Endless consequences…
(How intricate are our dances?)

One planet…
(One chance…)

About the Song

1) One Planet. One Water Cycle. Endless Consequences.

Violent rain events are the definitive new climate reality, as rising global temperatures directly alter how, when, and where water falls. Across the world, scientists report that while total annual precipitation may change gradually, the intensity and frequency of extreme downpours are accelerating rapidly. This shift is transforming gentle, localized rain into destructive, high-volume torrents capable of overwhelming modern infrastructure in minutes.

Hydroclimatic whiplash is rapidly shifting regions between drought and deluge, while atmospheric rivers are transporting unprecedented amounts of moisture deep into continental interiors.

Extreme Impacts: Extreme Weather Events | Violent Rain

2) Climate Change Is Disrupting the Biology of Life

Climate change is not just changing the planet—it is changing us. Extreme heat, shifting seasons, storms, and pollution are disrupting our circadian rhythms, damaging sleep, altering the gut microbiome, and destabilizing the gut-brain axis.

Protecting the climate means protecting the systems that keep us alive.

Climate Change, Circadian Disruption, REM Sleep, and the Gut Microbiome

[Verse 1]
Another second slips away
Turns tomorrow into yesterday
The very moment, bright and new
Soon becomes a distant view

What we hold begins to pass
Present turns to former glass
Try to stop it if you can
Time ignores the best of plans

[Pre-Chorus]

Soon enough
(You will know)

Blend together through the years
Present tense becomes the past

Can you see?

Which way now?
(Don’t ask how)

[Refrain]
Here we are
(Standing in a fog)
Can’t go far
(Could turn to a clog)

Best stand still
(No freewill)
In a haze
(In a daze)
For days and days and days

[Verse 1]
All the landmarks fade away
Night and morning look the same
Dare not step… full of doubt
Hard to know the in from out

Voices echo through the gray
Then dissolve and drift away
What’s ahead and what’s behind
Disappear from sight and mind

[Pre-Chorus]
Take it slow
(Don’t rush through)
What you know
(May not be true)

[Chorus]
In a fog
(Can’t make out)
What’s the answer

(Then disappear)

Best stand still

[Instrumental]
[Guitar Solo with Echo Effects]
[Deep Bass, Organ Swells, Sparse Drums]

[Verse 2]
Is the sunlight just ahead
Maybe not, the old man said
Will the roads reappear
Or will all remain unclear

Sometimes waiting is the way
Till the mist begins to sway
Till the outlines come in view
And the world feels fresh and new

Can’t see left
(Can’t see right)
Can’t tell dark
(From the light)

Take a breath
(Stand your ground)
In the quiet
(Listen around)

Here we are
(Standing in a fog)
Can’t go far
(Could turn to a clog)

Best stand still

Then one beam
(Cuts the gray)
And the fog
(Drifts away)

Dreams are seeds

In the moment, be the story
Out of shadows, into glory

Something broke
(That’s no joke)

[Refrain]
This is wild
(No longer mild)
All broke loose
(… gone obtuse)

[Verse 1]
Used to walk a steady line
Thought we knew the signs of time
The rule we thought we knew
Started bending into two

Quiet moments turned extreme
No longer quite the way it seemed
When the edges disappear
Chaos suddenly appears

[Pre-Chorus]
Hold on tight
(Feel the shift)
Day turns night
(Watch it drift)

Watch the signal start to flare
Something different fills the air
Patterns shifting, systems sway
Not much holds the old way

From the ground beneath our feet
To the storms we cannot beat
The boundary we defined
Leaves another one behind

[Bridge]
Not insane
(Just extreme)
Not a dream
(But a theme)

When the calm becomes the storm
(When the strange becomes the norm)
Can we see
(Can we find)
What’s ahead
(What’s behind)

[Final Chorus]
This is wild
(No longer mild)
All broke loose
(… gone obtuse)

No return
(Watch it burn)
No excuse

What we called impossible
Has become undeniable
The world has compiled
A brand-new file…

Lines are drawn across the page
Truth is tested, age by age
Does the choice become a sign
Does the moment draw a line

Left or right, up or down
Lost or found, smile or frown
Simple answers fill the space
But shades remain behind the face

Can we see beyond the frame?
Can we question another name?
When the colors start to blend
Where does certainty begin or end?

A simple word, a simple claim
Can hide a complicated game
The closer that we look inside
The more the edges start to divide

[Bridge]
Truth is not a wall
Truth answers the call

[Final Refrain]
This is…

This is…

[Intro]
[Instrumental Intro: Clean Guitar Arpeggios, Piano Flourish, Organ Swell, Warm Bass, Light Cymbals]
[Spoken Vocal]
Take it in…
(Just a moment)
Look around…
(At the moment)

[Refrain]
What I meant…
(This is magnificent)
As to how it went…
(Ah, so magnificent)

[Verse 1]
Morning breaks in shades of gold
Stories waiting to be told
Tiny moments, grand and small
Hidden wonder fills them all

Smiles appear on passing faces
Hearts awaken, finding places
Simple things become the thread
That bind the lives we’ve always led

[Pre-Chorus]
Open wide
(Your point of view)
You’ll be surprised
(By what shines through)

[Chorus]
Magnificent!
(Clear to see)
Magnificent!
(You and me)

More than words can truly say
Brighter than yesterday
Life unfolds before our eyes
In magnificent surprise

[Instrumental]
[Guitar Solo]
[Piano Countermelody, Organ Pads, Driving Rhythm Section]

[Verse 2]
Storms may gather, skies may gray
Still the light can find a way
One new ending plants a seed
For another dream to lead

Pause awhile and you may see
What was always meant to be
Hope becomes a quiet friend
Whispering, “This is magnificent.”

[Bridge]
Take it slow
(Breathe it in)
Where we end
(Is where we begin)
Speed it up
(Dream by dream)
More than it first seemed

[Final Chorus]
Magnificent!
(Clear to see)
Magnificent!
(You and me)

What I meant…
(This is magnificent)
As to how it went…
(Ah, so magnificent)

Sing it out…
(Magnificent!)
One more time…
(Magnificent!)

[Outro]
[Instrumental Outro: Ringing Guitar Chords, Piano Cadence, Organ Sustain, Bass Fade, Soft Cymbal Wash]
What I meant…
(This is magnificent…)
Ah… magnificent…

[Intro]
[Instrumental Intro: Pulsing Bass, Organ Swell, Muted Guitar Chops, Rising Synth Filter]
[Minimal Beat, Sub Bass, Spoken Vocal]
This is what?
(Exactly)
Imagine that
(Reality)

[Instrumental]
[Guitar Solo]
[Organ Stabs, Driving Bass, Snare March]

[Refrain]
Starting the quiz:
(What is this?)
This is what?
(Exactly)
Imagine that
(Reality)

[Verse 1]
Does the answer start a trail
Some prevail and some derail
Another label, another name
Points toward—but’s not the same

Questions shape the things we know
Further still we’ve yet to go
Piece by piece the picture grows
Only after asking “those?”

[Pre-Chorus]
Look again
(Take your time)
Every clue
(Fits the rhyme)

[Chorus]
What do you see?
(Reality)
What could it be?
(Wait and see)
Look a little closer now
(The answer’s here somehow)

This is what?
(Exactly)
Imagine that
(Reality)

[Instrumental]
[Piano Riff]
[Electric Guitar Harmony]
[Synth Countermelody]

[Verse 2]
Facts can hide in plainest sight
Waiting for another light
Shift your angle, change your view
Something old becomes brand new

Ahh… the puzzle has a key
Hidden in simplicity
When the pieces finally click
The obvious arrives so quick

[Bridge]
One more guess
(Try again)
Miss the mark
(Now and then)
Keep asking why
(Don’t pretend)
Questions lead
(To the end)

[Final Chorus]
Starting the quiz:
(What is this?)
This is what?
(Exactly)
Imagine that
(Reality)

Open your eyes
(What do you see?)
Truth arrives
(Naturally)

This is what?
(Exactly)
Imagine that…
(Reality)
