The Movement - The Great Discovery

The Great Discovery
“Some people will use a symbolism of the relationship of God to the universe, wherein God is a brilliant light, only somehow veiled, hiding underneath all these forms that you see as you look around you. But the truth is funnier than that. It is that you are looking right at the brilliant light now, that the experience you are having which you call ordinary everyday consciousness - pretending you're not it - that experience is exactly the same thing as ‘IT’. There's no difference at all. And when you find that out, you laugh yourself silly. That's the great discovery.”
Don’t wanna hear no cliche
“In other words, when you really start to see things, and you look at an old paper cup, and you go into the nature of what it is to see, what vision is, or what smell is, or what touch is, you realize that that vision of the paper cup is the brilliant light of the cosmos. Nothing could be brighter. Ten thousand suns couldn't be brighter.”

Let me tell ya first, don’t want no heat or no trouble
It’s just we have a thirst for the beat and a bubble
Go and build your ego, we go leave you heroes in the rubble
And then we visualize our future in the mirrors of the Hubble

Don’t wanna hear no cliche
Chomping at the bit but biting every word they say
Don’t wanna hear no cliche
Put it on repeat, defeated when they speak in the street
Don’t wanna hear no cliche
Chomping at the bit but biting every word they say
Don’t wanna hear no cliche
Spin the phrase again
Poet say unoriginal sin

Ya walk around high steppin but don’t see your feet
And then you’re feeling so high, they don’t meet the street
To be ready for the winter, gotta beat the heat
And to the righteous writer
Go and reach the peak, ya know

Every person is capable of a miracle
Steering across the city creating a verbal vehicle
Being cool, calm, collected and humble
With no hysterical ranting and raving
Paving the way

Cause we don’t wanna hear no cliche
Chomping at the bit but biting every word they say
Don’t wanna hear no cliche
Put it on repeat, defeated when they speak in the street
Don’t wanna hear no cliche
Chomping at the bit but biting every word they say
Don’t wanna hear no cliche
Spin the phrase again
Poet say unoriginal sin

Working together with all our people, it’s imminent
We’ll reach the apex on our own, won’t be no derivative
Striving and fighting our way to the top of the mountain
Giving it everything we have
Can’t stay bolted down cause they’re riveted

Limited is not a word we recognize
Great spirit listens if you give in and beckon right
Use your third eye and reply with second sight
Realize the power of your words

Don’t wanna hear no cliche
Chomping at the bit but biting every word they say
Don’t wanna hear no cliche
Put it on repeat, defeated when they speak in the street
Don’t wanna hear no cliche
Chomping at the bit but biting every word they say
Don’t wanna hear no cliche
Spin the phrase again
Poet say unoriginal sin
