about
Music and poetry are often the best way that I can fully communicate my
thoughts about God. But the beautiful thing about these songs, and It's About Good, is that it's anyone who loves God. That's really the one criteria to be a part of the group. And so even though I wrote the lyrics to this track while back at home in LA, the real inspiration for it was the experience recording the first track with Nate, Tim, Lauren Kotlarz, Justin, Noel, and everyone else involved with "Clarity" in Boston.
This song is about the scientific creation of the world. The original inspiration for the chorus comes from Jeremiah 22 and using the brilliant "new tongue" developed by Mary Baker Eddy, we substitute the word Love for God - because St. John tells us that God is Love. Love is what created all of us and whenever we think of Love we must know that Love is always thinking about us.
We are the reflection of Love - no matter where we are or what we believe, what we've done or where we've been.
When I wrote this song I had been reading book called "Quantum Engima" which explains, essentially, how reality is completely subjective and created by thought. And with a close look, especially supported by the core components of Christian Science, this is what the first chapter of Genesis is saying. Except it's not human thoughts, it's God's thoughts. And we're all just a product of God's thoughts. So I wanted to honor these parallels between science and religion, Einstein's discovery of relativity, Joan of Arc's proving what she knew about God in her life and on the battlefield. And again, the power of love, if God is Love then prayer relying wholly on Him in her life - must be loving. The rap, which is my favorite form of expression, is short and to the point - bringing in religious language (Christ, Paraclete) and metaphor into a scientific dialogue with terms like (quantum, parabola, mathematics) along with a line from Eddy's chapter on Genesis from Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures.
The last part of this track is probably the most beautiful for me. When playing our first cd for my family, Clarity, one of the comments we got was that certain songs were too religious and weren't accessible to non-religious people even though they loved the spiritual sense and energy of it. So with this specifically in mind, we included the spoken word at the end to remind every listener that you don't have to go to a building once a week to be spiritual, to be created by the one God. Both these songs demand we see God as accessible and universal for all people. That we recognize that all people were made to be children of God. The first song, "In the Beginning", deals with this through geographic location and culture, the remix deals with it more specifically with America in mind, embracing self-proclaimed agnostics and atheists who don't believe in a vindictive or vengeful God. So these songs let the world know - Christian Scientists don't believe that either. God is Love. No human theory or doctrine can change that. This song celebrates that fact in triumph. —Michael
lyrics
Jeremiah 30:22
Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures 502:22-29
This is my heaven,
This is my life.
And I'm living in Your love
And I'm made by Your ways and I wait.
Patience brings on perfection.
That's what makes me who I am.
And I stay
in the light of Your grace.
It's the only perception
to see straight through the veil.
And I’ll break
through the waves.
To love is to pray.
"This is my love song.
What is Life without you?
Love me and everyone the same.
You will be my people,
and I will be your Love."
I've got a million eternities behind me.
I've got the Mind of Christ,
I'll let infinity find me.
I'm at the tip of a parabola,
just a tenth away from understanding
Jah.
Way to go -
play to know -
yes, a world more bright.
Stay to move -
rays and tunes -
harmonize the light.
Restoring the sight,
listening inaudibly.
Joan of Arc
on the battlefield
telling me,
"Pshhh, it's a breeze.
Are you feeling me?
Spiritual wind, phenomenon, paraclete."
Now back to mathematics,
Einstein lives within me:
A seed within a seed
within a seed
in the beginning.
Only
one
forever
eternally.
Ideas
expanding
outward
quantumly.
Let's quantum leap.
We can essentially see
that Genesis is not the spring,
it signifies the only.
You are the only.
[And I will be your Love.]
This is for the beautiful people,
the ones the color of crystal.
The millions and millions of seekers,
the ones on their cell phones who don't go to church,
but still want to know.
Who don't use religion to excuse their mis-beliefs,
and don't accept what they're told or who they're supposed to be.
