That’s a Lot

[Instrumental, Guitar, Electric Piano, Organ, Synth, Bass, Percussion, Drums]

[Intro]
[Instrumental Intro: Electric Piano Solo, Pulsing Bass, Organ Swell, Muted Guitar Chops, Rising Synth Filter, Drum Fills]
Would ya look at what we’ve got
(That’s a lot)
[Instrumental]
[Guitar Solo]
[Organ Stabs, Driving Bass, Drum Fills]

[Verse 1]
Counting every zero
(From one to a hero)
Numbers rise and swell
(Stories they tell)
From grains to billions
(Endless trillions)
Stack it all high
(Looking at the sky)

[Verse 2]
Paper and digits
(Mountains of it)
Lives in the balance
(Split and transmit)
From hands to machines
(Calculating means)
Everything’s measured
(But what really counts?)

[Bridge – Breakdown]
[Percussion, Sub Bass, Spoken Vocal]
Could be much, much worse
(… in the back of a hearse)
[Build: Synth Arpeggio Rising]
Watch it multiply
(While we sigh)
Count it all again
(Where does it end?)

[Chorus]
I mean…
(Have you seen the scene)
Just look at what we’ve got
(That sure is a lot)
Stack it high
(Reaching the sky)
Can’t believe all we’ve got
(That’s a lot, a lot…)

[Instrumental Break]
[Saxophone Solo]
[Guitar Solo — sharper, angular]
[Organ Stabs, Driving Bass, Snare March]

[Verse 3]
Every extra billion
(Changes the feeling)
From homes to oceans
(Can’t see the ceiling)
Numbers in motion
(Pulling devotion)
It’s overwhelming
(Lost in the notion)

[Final Chorus – Extended]
I mean…
(Have you seen the scene)
Just look at what we’ve got
(That sure is a lot)
Bigger than we dreamed
(Or even thought)
Everything together
(That’s a lot, a lot, a lot…)

[Outro – Instrumental Fade]
[Electric Piano Motif, Sub Bass Pulsing, Organ Swell, Distant Guitar Echo]
That’s a lot…
(Yeah… that’s a lot…)
