Waves of Light (feat. Brian Cox)

Why are we here? Where do we come from? These are the most enduring of questions It's a story that we wouldn't be able to tell Were it not for the one thing that connects us vividly to our vast cosmos Light Through light we can stare back across the entire history of the universe And discover how it all began See those ancient beams of light are messengers from the distant past And they carry with them a story The story of the origin of the universe Gaze up into the night sky Capture the light And read the story of the universe Isn't it a wonderful thing We are part of the universe Isn't it a wonderful thing The story of the universe is our story The story of the universe is our story Carried on waves of light Wave after wave after wave of light All the colors of the rainbow Colors of the rainbow Wave after wave after wave of light All the colors of the rainbow Colors of the rainbow Light can transport us to the past And we have become virtual time travelers Night falls Darker and darker And the universe fades into view Night falls Darker and darker Darker and darker Stars being born in distant realms Alien worlds created by gravity Stars that shine with the light of a thousand suns And vast swirling galaxies These waves of light are messengers from across the cosmos And through them, we have discovered the wonders of our galaxy Frozen in time Gaze up into the night sky Capture the light And read the story of the universe Isn't it a wonderful thing We are part of the universe Isn't it a wonderful thing The story of the universe is our story The story of the universe is our story Carried on waves of light Wave after wave after wave of light All the colors of the rainbow Colors of the rainbow Wave after wave after wave of light All the colors of the rainbow Colors of the rainbow Billions and billions of suns Shining in the sky The story of the universe Carried on waves of light Gaze up into the night sky Capture the light And read the story of the universe
