One Song from Frontier by Jesse Paradox

Verse 1
First there was void,
perfect primordial eye,
one sky, god’s mind,
thirsting for its own reflection,
From first to second person;
reality is alive…
Dimensions collide in bursts of violence,
birthing matter for the first time; no more silence.
“Third person” arrives,
the physical survives and divides
with consciousness still inside.

Chorus
As I gaze into your eyes,
Spirit encased in form recognizes
us, one mind,
one song divided

Verse 2
God is within,
the only sin is difference;
with this pill we still instill in our infants—
the ego’s insistence on living within limits.
No need to fear,
we can change things right here!
To save Jesus's repeating prayer,
the main reason for breathing air
is to take love to people you hold dear,
especially enemies you hate and fear.
But the ego sneaks up from the rear,
makes you forsake the nearness of Spirit.
Stay in the present moment; then you'll hear it:
the One Song plays—
you're part of the rhythm,
Love without Limits, one eye, one mind.

Verse 3
I am no authority,
please don’t blindly follow me!
Glean from me what you feel is real,
but no need to steal what you read—
think free, plant your own seed,
Reap dreams, teach your own scenes.
We are where beast and divine meet.
To seek relief can only be bittersweet
when human alone cannot be complete.
Fated to compete when we’re on the same team;
underneath the illusion, “one we” breathes.
Believe what you want, this is just one creed—
if you get locked in you may never ever leave.
To keep both feet stuck in just one mentality
would be, ultimately, a real tragedy.
