[Verse 1]
It starts
With our eyes well acquainted with the dark
The mind was made to illuminate the heart
And when every constellation
Suddenly appeared
Through telescopes and calculations
The far was pulled so near

[Chorus]
Even after everything we've seen
We've barely caught a glimpse of what it means
In the architecture of the soul
The universe began with our eyes closed

[Verse 2]
We claim our land
We tame our seas
We carve our names
On the surface of history
'Til our hands get tired
By the stubborn will of gravity

[Chorus]
Even after everything we've seen
We've barely caught a glimpse of what it means
In the architecture of the soul
The universe began with our eyes closed
[Verse 3]
In the rise and fall
Of a newborn's chest
Like the ocean swells
We inhale, exhale and reset
Every living thing
Is in this constant state of unrest

Even after all our history
We've barely caught a glimpse of what it means
In the architecture of the soul
The universe began

[Chorus]
Even after everything we've seen
We've barely caught a glimpse of what it means
In the architecture of the soul
The universe began with our eyes closed
