You Are The Universe
Lyrics and instrumentation by Patrick Howe

Lyrics

You can stop acting your age
Don’t bother fitting in
If you play that game
You know you will never win

You don’t have to be cool
You don’t have to be hot
You’re so much more than that
You can believe it or not


When you think you are you
It’s only partially true
Because you are also everyone
From a different point of view


You are the universe
When you know at first glance
Life not a problem
It’s just a circumstance


You are the universe
So let's get up and dance
Shake off that existentialism
Feel the expanse 


You may think you’re awesome
You may feel really small
Don’t buy into that game
Jump off of that seesaw


You are not your emotions
You are not your mind
They are your closest environment
So close they made you blind


If it seems incomprehensible
Don’t give it second thought
It’s not about believing anything
It's not a mental knot


Because sometimes you must play the mortician
Sometimes you must drive the hearse
Or you may be a tombstone artist
But you’re always the universe


You are the universe
When you know at first glance
Life not a problem
It’s just a circumstance


You are the universe
when you can feel the pain of others.
Then you're  just like them
In all of their colors


​You are the universe
So let's get up and dance
Shake off that existentialism
Feel the expanse
