[Instrumental, Guitar, Electric Piano, Organ, Synth, Bass, Percussion, Drums]
[Intro]
[Instrumental, Electric Piano Solo]
Well… can you tell
(How many cells?)
[Verse 1]
Every heartbeat counts
(Every breath)
Every thought amounts
(From birth to death)
Trillions in motion
(See the flow)
Building devotion
(To what we know)
[Bridge]
Well… can you tell
(How many cells?)
[Instrumental, Electric Piano Solo]
[Organ Stabs, Driving Bass, Snare March]
[Drums Double-Time, Organ Glide]
[Chorus]
Thirty-seven billion
(Cells)
Per civilian
(Time tells)
Living, breathing,
(Fire of life)
Every tiny division
(Sharp as a knife)
[Verse 2]
Skin to sinew,
(Bone to blood)
Every tissue,
(Moving like a flood)
Microscopic armies
(Marching on)
Holding memories,
(Each one strong)
[Bridge 2 – Breakdown]
[Percussion, Sub Bass, Spoken Vocal]
Do you see them move?
(Cellular groove)
All in rhythm,
(Alive, alive)
Count the cells
(37 billion drive)
[Chorus]
Thirty-seven billion
(Cells)
Per civilian
(Time tells)
Living, breathing,
(Fire of life)
Every tiny division
(Sharp as a knife)
[Outro – Instrumental Jam]
[Electric Piano, Organ Glide, Synth Layers]
[Bass Solo]
[Drums, Organ Stabs, Driving Bass, Saxophone Flourish]
Whispers of life
(Cells, cells…)
Echo in the body
(37 billion…)
ABOUT THE SONG
The average adult human body contains approximately 30,000 to 37,200 billion cells. Recent comprehensive studies have refined these numbers based on gender and age:
* Adult Males: Roughly 36 trillion cells (based on a reference 70 kg male).
* Adult Females: Roughly 28 trillion cells (based on a reference 60 kg female).
* Children: Roughly 17 trillion cells (for an average 10-year-old).
