Lyrics SRT:

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000
[Intro]
[instrumental]

1
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:12,000
[Verse 1]
Dewy grass beneath my feet,
A secret whispered, bittersweet.

2
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:18,000
Red called me out, the morning gray,
To chase a dream in a brand new way.

3
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:24,000
He said, “Come on! The world's our own!”
But something felt… unknown.

4
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:30,000
[Chorus]
Stars above and fields below,
A hidden promise starts to grow.

5
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:36,000
Circus lights in a distant haze,
Lost in wonder, through endless days.

6
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:42,000
Will we find our place among the bright?
Or fade away into the night?

7
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:49,000
[Verse 2]
Thunder rumbled, a secret sign,
A world of wonders, truly mine!

8
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:55,000
Animals waiting, a hidden prize,
Reflected in my eager eyes.

9
00:00:55,000 --> 00:01:01,000
We'll build a show, grand and bold,
A story waiting to unfold!

10
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:07,500
[Bridge]
But shadows linger, a whispered fear,
Of secrets buried, drawing near.

11
00:01:07,500 --> 00:01:13,500
What price for magic, what cost to pay?
When starlight fades and dreams decay…

12
00:01:13,500 --> 00:01:20,000
[Chorus]
Stars above and fields below,
A hidden promise starts to grow.

13
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:26,000
Circus lights in a distant haze,
Lost in wonder, through endless days.

14
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:32,000
Will we find our place among the bright?
Or fade away into the night?

15
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:39,000
[Verse 3]
Worlds beyond worlds, a cosmic dance,
A fragile balance, a fleeting chance.

16
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:44,000
To bridge the gaps, to understand,
The mysteries held in every land.

17
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:50,000
But change is coming, swift and deep,
While ancient secrets softly sleep.

18
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:57,000
[Bridge]
They came from darkness, seeking light,
A desperate plea in endless night.

19
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:03,000
Carbon and hydrogen, a simple need,
To plant their future, sow the seed…

20
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:09,000
[Chorus]
Stars above and fields below,
A hidden promise starts to grow.

21
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:15,000
Circus lights in a distant haze,
Lost in wonder, through endless days.

22
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:21,000
Will we find our place among the bright?
Or fade away into the night?

23
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:30,000
[Outro]
