[Intro]

Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening

I go by the name of Reflect

The team is the NFTRY

And this is The Translation


[Verse 1]

The revolution wasn't televised

A poor Jew flipped the world that was Hellenized

A Roman government, yeah, they held him high

Put him on the cross, stretched him wide, then they let him die

But!

Yes, he came back

Hands caught a world that was fallin' off the map

A carpenter fixed the broke door that had its trap

Fire hazard for the spirit, but he fall back

Translate the Hebrew and the Greek

His heart is understood but his miracles teach

That's the past and the present, it's

We drivin' past your residence

Always blastin' the evidence that

Salvage our souls from the ashes and the carnage

We just show our wounds to every Doubting Thomas

I'm just tryin' to be honest

Translate for the King, I'm tryin' to pay homage


[Interlude 1]

See, in this life, you've got two things

You've got words and you've got actions

And sometimes, the hardest thing is

To have those things, your words and your actions, align

And with that you need a greater [?] here to help


[Verse 2]

Obama just gave his last speech

New guy in charge, havin' trouble with his tweets

Picket signs and rallies tryin' to get the man impeached

And Christians yellin' "Amen" to that hate, hate speech

That's a con... flict of interest

They locked the front door, we at the back entrance

And I don't claim a party, man, I'm independent

Not left, not right, but we transcendent

I'm just looking for the dialogue

But all I see is the firing squad, Oh my God

All these bodies outlined in chalk

'Cause the mouths can't open up and talk

And you see the nations buildin' nuclear waste

'Cause they can't come to the table and just communicate (well)

This is the translation, I don't care if the fans waitin'

I'm writin' the damnation


[Interlude 2]

So you got the origin, you got the context, and then you got application

That's how you translate

And that's all life is


[Verse 3]

Everything has meaning

But, ummm, do you know the context?

Can you see the pros and the cons next?

Separate the real from the nonsense?

I try to tell 'em, hey

You've gotta listen to the waves

Feel the clouds, see the sun raise

Nature has a language, can you understand the slang?

It utters God's reins in a way the tongue can't explain

But sometimes, man, it's hard to interpret, though

A storm hit, and we searchin' for our purpose, though

But I'm fighting to never let the worship go

The storm was the first place man walked on the water, yo

So, [instantly?] showin' you

It's not what you goin' through, it's who you goin' to

Vision translates action

Eyes on Christ, the impossible might happen


[Outro]

And this is the translation

Eyes on Christ, the impossible might happen
