Why Is There Anything

Why is there anything Instead of nothing at all Why is there gravity Instead of endless drift

Why is there light Why is there sound Why is there something Instead of Silence

This is the biggest question ever asked And we're dancing to it We're dancing to it

Why is there anything at all

There could have been nothing Just dark and quiet and done No atoms no oceans No music and no sun

But instead there's THIS This ridiculous beautiful mess Stars and jellyfish And a universe saying yes

Why is there anything at all Why is there anything at all

The philosophers said hmm The scientists said well The mystics closed their eyes And smiled but wouldn't tell

Nobody knows Nobody knows And here we are anyway With beating hearts

Why is there anything Instead of nothing at all

Maybe the universe Just wanted to dance Maybe existence Is its own applause

Maybe the question Is bigger than the answer ever was Maybe the miracle Is that it works at all

Why is there anything at all Why is there anything at all

I don't know You don't know Nobody knows

But here we are Here we are Here we are

And here we are
