[Verse]

Birth, manipulation of the stardust

Universal laws in action forming what we call us

Footprints in the sand all across the land

Appearing and disappearing since the beginning of man

From the primitive Inuits find shelter under trees

To the lost city of Atlantis buried underseas

Are these really the origins of mankind

Or the results of processes and cycles changing through time?

What are your views on ancient Egyptian pyramids?

Some say that they must have been built by the aliens

This notion may be undermining human ingenuity

Devaluing the prospects of what is possible humanly

Many civilizations existed before we did

Thinking we’re the most advanced in every aspect is elitist

They try to deceive us in US history books

Until you recognize the bias when you take a second look

Indigenous native rain-dancing ’til the drops come ’til the crops sprung and began to blossom over the land held sacred by the tribe

A celebration’s in order, the people can now thrive

Alive and well, one man survives is proof of his cultural heritage which he describes to the youth

To carry on the traditions of peoples who’ve been oppressed

Until the indignation stops he cannot rest

Ancient Egyptians engaging in carvings of hieroglyphics in the tombs of the pharaohs what we call art

But the practical purpose serving as guides to the afterlife

Depicting the ceremonial weighing of the heart

Ancient Aztec warrior face painted in preparation for the battle with enemy tribes

Primitive in nature, running full speed at each other, unaware of which one of them will now meet their demise

Chinese medicine man’s concoctions and mixtures of herbs that draw out the toxins

Restoring the balance between the yin and the yang

Two opposing forces emerging during The Big Bang

Japanese sensei bows to his apprentice as a sign of dignity, the two are mutually respected

Knowing that the student will one day become the teacher, he imparts his knowledge upon the pupil who learns eagerly

South Indian swami without a single possession…

Travels the land calmly holding only life’s lessons, which he gives freely to all those who seek knowledge…

Knowing only bliss exists when the ego has been demolished

Buddhist temple, dwell or meditating in a monastery, coming to the realization that all is temporary

Himalayan yogi isolated in a cave

Out of all the warriors he is the most brave

Greco-Roman meta-physicist deep in thought, seeking answers to the questions universally sought

The knowledge obtained he’s willing now to spread amidst the commoners

Contemporary theorist, scholars and Greek philosophers

Preparing for a mental journey soon to be embarked upon

Greco-Roman goddesses roaming in the Parthenon

Stepping out into the night under the constellations, studied by Galileo analyzing observations

Advancements in the arts by poets and playwrights, sculptors and painters creating masterpieces day and night

Portraying cultural values carrying on into modern times

Making way for our modern civilization to arise
