[Verse 1]
Count it up slow
(Zero by zero)
Watch how it grows
(Faster than we know)
From ones to tens
(To hundreds again)
Stacking the scale
(It never will fail)
[Bridge – Breakdown]
[Percussion, Sub Bass, Spoken Vocal]
Ten to the ninth
(Then to a new height)
Push it higher
(Feed the fire)
[Build: Synth Arpeggio Rising]
[Chorus]
1 with 9 zeros
(Numerical heroes)
A billion is big
(Wealth hog pig)
Scale it again
(Do it times ten)
Numbers ascend
(Where does it end?)
[Verse 2]
From grains of sand
(To stars in the night)
From shifting demand
(To power and might)
Numbers don’t lie
(But people can try)
Billion by billion
(Reaching the sky)

Ten to the ninth
(Then to a new height)
Push it higher
(Feed the fire)

(Numerical heroes)
A billion is big
(Wealth hog pig)
Scale it again
(Do it times ten)
Numbers ascend
(Where does it end?)

Say it loud
(Billion!)
Say it proud
(Billion!)
Stack it up
(Trillion…)
Never enough
(Still climbing…)

Exponential rise
(Open your eyes)
What you can’t see
(Runs the machine)
Count every breath
(Measure in depth)
[Final Chorus – Extended]
1 with 9 zeros
(Numerical heroes)
A billion is big
(Wealth hog pig)
Stack it again
(Breaking the pen)
Writing the end
(Where does it end?)

Ten to the ninth…
(Then higher still…)
[Bass fades, distant sax echo]
