Paradigm Shift

By Ghada Chehade

There’s a shift, there’s a shift; there’s a paradigm shift
An awakening is upon us…
An undoing of the rift…

No need for stories that cannot last.
And for unexplained mysteries
This is a remembering of our past…and our cosmic his-to-ry…

So open your eyes and look around, for the truth is all around you…
And did you know that liberation…has a sound?
It is a pulse, noooo, a rhythm, like a musical note…

It is the electric beat of the universe,
And those who feel it march to a revolutionary drummmm…

While those who don’t, have allowed the system to make them numbbbb…
But soon their spell will break…and they too will be, awake!

Cause…there’s a shift…
There’s a shift…
There’s a paradigm shift…

And when our eyes are fully open, we’ll feel our con-scious-ness lift
For our past is no mere token…and remembering, is a gift…
And when modern illusions are eventually broken, the re-connection will be swift!

For there’s a shift…
There’s a shift…
There’s a paradigm shift…
