Why are there so many songs about the stars,
and wondering what makes them shine?
Stars are just diamonds, twinkling in the sky
And starlight has nothing to hide.
So we've been told and some choose to believe it.
I know they're wrong, wait and see
Someday we'll find it, the unified theory,
Dark matter and dark energy
Verse
Who said that empty space is all that is out there
Way on past the farthest star?
Somebody thought of that and someone believed him.
Look what it's got us so far.
There's something amazing that keeps us stargazing
We never know what we might see
Someday we'll find it, the unified theory
Explaining quantum gravity
Verse
Have you looked up at night, and heard the sound of strings?
I've heard them calling my name.
Are these the sweet sounds that called a young Euclid?
I think they're one and the same.
I've heard it too many times to ignore it.
It's something that I'm supposed to be.
Someday we'll find it, the unified theory,
From the Big Bang to you and me.
Someday we'll find it, the unified theory,
From the Big Bang to you and me.
