Liner Notes

The phrase "standing on the shoulders of giants" is a metaphor which means "using the understanding gained by major thinkers who have gone before in order to make intellectual progress" This song is an attempt to honour some of those major thinkers.

Lyrics

Newton's apple, Einstein's light
Curie's radiance burning bright
King's dream echoes through the years
Their voices whisper in our ears

We are not alone, no
Giants paved the road we go

Standing on the shoulders of giants
Reaching higher, touching the sky
Standing on the shoulders of giants
Their wisdom helps us fly
Every step, every leap, every boundary we break
We're part of a legacy they helped to make

Shakespeare's words, Beethoven's song
Van Gogh's vision carried on
From Lascaux caves to city streets
The beat of progress never sleeps

We are not alone, no
Giants paved the road we go

Standing on the shoulders of giants
Reaching higher, touching the sky
Standing on the shoulders of giants
Their wisdom helps us fly
Every step, every leap, every boundary we break
We're part of a legacy they helped to make

Every idea, every creation
Builds on the foundation
Of those who came before
Opening new doors
Their triumphs, their falls
Lead us to uncharted halls

Standing on the shoulders of giants
Reaching higher, touching the sky
Standing on the shoulders of giants
Their wisdom helps us fly
Every step, every leap, every boundary we break
We're part of a legacy, a future to make
