Prince — One Song

1999, and the illusion continues One begs to ask, "when will it end?" Unnatural disasters happen seemingly every week Train crashes, shootings, nuclear accidents Is there any place of refuge one can flee from this insanity? Very few of mankind's creations are designed to make you feel good Unless you get pleasure from seeing the human body Desecrated by guns, explosions, fights And any other things these so-called "artists" create In the name of freedom, many have used art as a means to destroy the human mind As an excuse to continue we hear "Art reflects society" How many times has this lie been repeated: "creations are not real" They say and yet any one of these people can call to mind Images and complete scenes of horror in graphic detail They will carry these so-called "unreal" creations around with them for the rest of their lives These images are now a part of their being In the name of recreation these people in fact are recreating themselves in their own images Society then reflects art In man's decision to further separate from God His re-creation of himself leaves him in a dysfunctional state of confusion The mind becomes a burial ground for dead waste Isolated from the wholeness of God, Earth and his fellow brothers and sisters This man seeks solace in activities he thinks will stimulate his mind He begins downloading into his brain a series of manmade creations designed to destroy it All manmade creations originate from one of two sources The Tree of Knowledge or the Tree of Life One of these trees contained deadly fruit, the other - Fruit of Everlasting Life The one who disregards this fact recreates himself and his kind into extinction You are reading these words on a machine created by man As you read, you hear a voice speaking to you the words that you perceive They make sense to you because you understand (stand under) the spelling The words are what binds this spell to your illusion When you hear the truth, like a memory You recognize it and this recognition releases you from all illusion Many languages are brilliant in their attempt to confuse you Con meaning: against, fuse meaning: together Words and their spellbinding illusions have the power to keep man separate from God You were born in an all-knowing state of mind The first words spoken to you begin the spell The words come from one of two sources The Tree of Knowledge or the Tree of Life In ignorance or simply lack of respect for God Many use words that confuse the minds of humans and turn them into projections of their own illusions Because of this fact, many people grow up and blindly assume their pre-selected role Under a dictatorship without even being aware of it When asked what they are doing here on earth, most will answer with statements That do not reflect their natural God-given desires This creates a pyramid-like structure with the dictator on top And each level under it knowing less and less Upon reaching the bottom level - which is where the majority is You will find chaos, disorder, and illusion With ill as its prefix, illusion is a state of insanity In the name of democracy, supreme power is vested unto the people in this insane state instead of God A future re-created, to be ruled by man, is one of isolation and despair Returning the leadership back into God will allow mankind to achieve its original collective goal Which is union with God Ideas contrary to this goal should not be blamed or persecuted - just simply ignored They originated when man first chose to ignore God's rule Simply put - in the beginning, the Human was made perfect in God's image They had no need for knowledge They were also given freedom of choice The Tree of Knowledge and the Tree of Life are reflections of this freedom The human is now a reflection of their choice They could have simply chose not to choose God being centrifugal in nature, freedom was the cause and choice was the effect In knowing their perfection made in God's image, there was no need to choose In fact, their were no needs There was only love in an all-knowing state before the fall The worst thing you can do is give up your God-given right to choose For in it - you can choose not to choose Therein is the final judgement The illusion ceases and you awaken from your dream Now the healing begins... With an all-knowing mind, made in God's image You can create as your Creator - God intended With love, honor and respect for every living thing in the universe Separation ceases, and we all become One Being singing the One song I am the universe The sun, the moon and sea I am the energy For that is what I believe I can be contradiction 'Cause that is all I see But I am the universe And the universe is me I am the one song (Ah yes) And that one song is free All things come from this one song (Yes they do, uh) The garden and the tree If everything, everything is present What is will always be This here is the first and the last song And all that come between When language falls like a wounded soldier And it's covered by the sea All the sadness All these unanswered questions Keep me company (Company, company, company come to me, come to me please!) Here at the center of it all (I know) I know that you can only come from me (I am the universe) Yes it will, oh, yes it will (The sun, the moon and sea) Where else is it gonna come from but me? (I am the universe) Oh my, my my my my my my my universe (The universe is me) (I am the universe) (The sun, the moon and sea) (I am the universe) (We are the universe) (The universe is me) One truth (One truth) One song (One song) One energy
