\"Bang<\/p>\n

Bang went the gun on their tongue.
\nWord crucifixion toward immigrants shunned.
\n“Immigrants; that’s who we all are
\ncause we’re all made of stars,”
\nyou said to them. Ah yes, you did.<\/p>\n

Bang went the universe.
\nHydrogen lusting for helium’s burst.
\nA mighty sun’s dance of death;
\nexploding supernova.
\nOne story’s end seeds another to begin.<\/p>\n

Then the Heavens opened and then I heard voices joined in hosannas.
\nBreathlessly I saw your star.<\/p>\n

So bright, it blinded me. I had to shield my eyes.
\nSo bright, it blinded me. I had to shield my eyes.
\nSo bright, it blinded me. I had to shield my eyes.<\/p>\n

And then you took my hand. Oh yes, you did.<\/p>\n

Bang! The world now traumatized
\nby a cluster of hostile humans who side
\nwith their warlords of hate.
\nSo we must out-create
\nwith the backbone of night to rehumanize.<\/p>\n

Then the Heavens opened and then I heard voices joined in hosannas.
\nAnd their tower of confusion could not drown the light from your star.<\/p>\n

So bright, it blinded me. I had to shield my eyes.
\nSo bright, it blinded me. I had to shield my eyes.
\nSo bright, it blinded me. I had to shield my eyes.<\/p>\n

And then you lit the path. Oh yes, you did.<\/p>\n

“Can’t they see,” he said to me, “that we all are molecular machines?”
\nGoals and dreams. All I wanna be is the very best machine I can be.<\/p>\n

Oxygen and carbon; part of our molecular machine.
\nGoals and dreams. All I wanna be is the very best machine I can be.<\/p>\n

Hydrogen, calcium, phosphorus, potassium, sulfur, sodium.
\nAll I wanna be is the very best machine I can be.<\/p>\n

Chlorine, magnesium, boron, chromium, cobalt, copper, fluorine.
\nAll I wanna be is the very best machine I can be.<\/p>\n

Iodine, iron, manganese, molybdenum, selenium, silicon, tin, vanadium and zinc.
\nAll I wanna be… a molecular machine.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
