Physics of Kindness

Family memory

The title track — love as force, kindness as law of motion.

Lyrics

Transcribed from the recording — close to the song, but not always word-perfect.

We are told we're just atoms, a chemical ghost in the gear
That the math is the master and the mystery is something to fear
But the bread on the table and the light on the wall
They don't feel like a formula, they don't feel like nothing at all
Because matter is leaning to love, organized heat in the dark
Reality's breathing in us, every pulse is as far
It's not less than a miracle that the dust found a way to the song
We are just atoms, this is where we belong
The curve of a laughing child, the memory of scent in the air
It's the physics of kindness, a gravity we can't compare
The truth didn't kill the magic, it only gave it a name
Every cell is a temple, every breath is a flame
Because matter is leaning to love, organized heat in the dark
Reality's breathing in us, every pulse is a spark
It's not less than a miracle that the dust found a way to the song
We aren't just atoms, this is where we belong
Look at the sky with new eyes, the chemistry is crying out
The truth is the mother of wonder, this is what living's about
Because matter is leaning to love, organized heat in the dark
Reality's breathing in us, every pulse is a spark
It's not less than a miracle that the dust found a way to the song
We aren't just atoms, this is where we belong
We aren't just atoms, this is where we belong
Magic
