Origin 3

( A Duet Between a Wanderer (Male) and a Seeker (Female))

(Verse 1 - Male)

If you strip away the stories, if you take away the name,

What is left here standing, is it different or the same?

Is there something deeper, past the echoes and the sound?

Or does the wind just carry me, forever spinning ‘round?

(Verse 2 - Female)

What you call the river, I just see the flow,

No beginning, no forever, only motion that we know.

If there is no ending, then where do we arrive?

Are we drifting toward the silence, or just learning to survive?

(Chorus - Both)

If the mover moves, then what moves him?

If the dreamer dreams, is it all within?

Are we searching for the start of time?

Or just tracing shadows of the divine?

(Verse 3 - Male)

What if all these whispers, are the echoes of the deep?

Calling through the ages, from a place beyond our reach?

If we chase the question, will we find the source?

Or is the seeking just the journey, never meant to run its course?

(Verse 4 - Female)

What if the origin is dreaming, giving names to light and stone?

What if every face we carry, is just the dreamer not alone?

Would we ever wake to see it, if the dream is all we know?

Or are we meant to wander onward, never needing to be shown?

(Chorus - Both)

If the mover moves, then what moves him?

If the dreamer dreams, is it all within?

Are we searching for the start of time?

Or just tracing shadows of the divine?

(Bridge - Male & Female, call & response)

(Male:) What if it wakes?

(Female:) Then what remains?

(Male:) Would it all fade?

(Female:) Or just change its name?

(Male:) Would we still be?

(Female:) Or never were?

(Both:) If silence sings… do we hear the words?

(Outro - Both, softly fading)

If the dreamer wakes, does the story end?

Or does it start again?

Or does it start again…?
