Title:

“Roots in the Cosmos”

Full Song Lyrics with Chord Progression:

(Verse 1: Em, C, G, D)

Em C
Under the moon’s faint glow,
G D
We find ourselves letting go.
Em C
Like leaves in the wind, we sway,
G D
In the rhythm of life, we play.

(Chorus: Am, C, G, D)

Am C
Roots in the cosmos, we’re free,
G D
In the dance of the galaxy.
Am C
In this cosmic carousel,
G D
We find stories to tell.

(Verse 2: Em, C, G, D)

Em C
The stars whisper in our ear,
G D
Secrets of the universe so clear.
Em C
In the grand scheme, we’re small,
G D
Yet, in love, we stand tall.

(Chorus: Am, C, G, D)

Am C
Roots in the cosmos, we’re free,
G D
In the dance of the galaxy.
Am C
In this cosmic carousel,
G D
We find stories to tell.
