[Chorus]
\n[Warm Harmonies, Open Drum Groove, Expansive Acoustic Layers]

\n(Connected to nature)
\nIf not by name…
\n(We’re one and the same)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\n[Steady Mid-Tempo Groove, Acoustic Strumming, Warm Organ Swells]
\nMountains rising from the silence
\nRivers carving through the stone
\nPatterns older than our memory
\nStill reflected in our bones<\/p>\n

Rain returns in endless cycles
\nWinds keep moving through the trees
\nLife connecting through hidden pathways
\nFlowing as unseen seas<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\n[Half-Time Feel, Atmospheric Synth Pads, Sparse Piano Notes]
\nCities rise from ancient forests
\nSteel and glass still shaped by earth
\nAll the circuits, lights, and motion
\nTrace back to creation\u2019s birth<\/p>\n

Breathing in the same old oxygen
\nDrinking from the ancient rain
\nLiving systems intertwined now
\nThrough both pleasure and through pain<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\n[Cymbal Swells, Bass Intensifies, Vocal Harmonies Rise]
\nNo true separation found
\n(The connections circle round)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\n[Music Drops to Minimal Percussion, Ambient Nature Sounds, and Soft Bass Pulse]
\nRiver
\n(Flowing through)<\/p>\n

Forest

Nature

\nIf not by name…
\n(We’re one and the same)<\/p>\n

Stars above
\n(And roots below)
\nAll as one
\n(In endless flow)<\/p>\n

For sure…
\n(Connected forever)
\nIf not by name…
\n(We belong together)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\n[Instrumentation Gradually Falls Away to Acoustic Guitar, Wind Sounds, and Soft Organ Drone]
\nAshes (to ashes)
\nDust (to dust)
\nEarth… (our must)<\/p>\n

[Ending]
\n[Final Acoustic Guitar Harmonic Rings into Natural Ambient Sounds and Silence]<\/p>\n
