Divine thought came to Earth and saw
A great potential waiting there
Though mankind had a massive flaw
Divine thought came to Earth and saw
Perfection in the rough and raw
And wanted so to teach and share
Divine thought came to Earth and saw
A great potential waiting there
Divine thought split itself apart
To leave us clues that we may see
If we are diligent and smart
Divine thought split itself apart
Gave truth and longing to each heart
Enhancing curiosity
Divine thought split itself apart
To leave us clues so we may see
Men searched to locate divine thought
Throughout the world they searched the ground
They dug and sifted, stole and fought
Men searched to locate divine thought
For all the wisdom that it brought
As wisdom was so rarely found
Men searched to locate divine thought
Throughout the world they searched the ground
A brilliant crystal then was found
And polished ‘till it mesmerized
‘Twas split in facets, honed and ground
A brilliant crystal then was found
And learned men from all around
Felt lovely crystals made them wise
A brilliant crystal then was found
And polished ‘till it mesmerized
The crystal set the world afire
And four great seekers would emerge
Enlightenment fueled their desire
The crystal set the world afire
Gave builder, sailor, thinker, flier
A pressing spiritual urge
The crystal set the world afire
And four great seekers would emerge
The builder built a castle strong
To keep his brilliant crystals in
Brought many fine helpers along
The builder built a castle strong
Enlightenment would not take long
Once crystals filled the giant bin
The builder built a castle strong
To keep his brilliant crystals in
The sailor built a mighty fleet
To search for gems on distant shores
The boat is faster than the feet
The sailor built a mighty fleet
Stocked up with hard-tack, rum, dried meat
A bold adventure’s staple stores
The sailor built a mighty fleet
To search for gems on distant shores
The flier crafted many pair
Of wings on which people could fly
And search for crystals through the air
The flyer crafted many pair
To cross the sky with grace and flair
And reach where furthest crystals lie
The flier crafted many pair
Of wings on which people could fly
The thinker sat upon a stone
And pondered on enlightenment
He sat and wondered all alone
The thinker sat upon a stone
Thinking of how the crystals shone
He thought while others came and went
And pondered on enlightenment
As many years went quickly by
And massive energies were spent
The thinker thought and pondered why
As many years went quickly by
Three stores of crystals piled high
Yet, no one found enlightenment
As many years went quickly by
And massive energies were spent
A thought would come to him at last
“We share them and we all have more!”
They came by wing, by foot and mast
A thought would come to him at last
All crystals in one bin were cast
Enlightenment must be in store
A thought would come to him at last
“We share them and we all have more!”
A wondrous feast was had by all
Their lofty goal was now at hand
They danced and had a gala ball
A wondrous feast was had by all
Within the castle’s mighty wall
Dreams woven to a single strand
A wondrous feast was had by all
Their lofty goal was now at hand
So, on and on the party went
The thinker deeply pondering
Amidst the food and merriment
So, on and on the party went
All waiting for enlightenment
Which wasn’t really happening
So, on and on the party went
The thinker deeply pondering
The thinker realized by and by
Enlightenment would not come now
He left the castle with a sigh
The thinker realized by and by
That somewhere they had gone awry
And lost sight of the truth somehow
The thinker realized by and by
Enlightenment would not come now
The thinker couldn’t understand
Why no one found enlightenment
He wandered all about the land
The thinker couldn’t understand
And sat upon the desert sand
As last rays of the sun were spent
The thinker couldn’t understand
Why no one found enlightenment
The sun’s last rays revealed the prize
The desert glittered brilliantly
And opened up his inner eyes
The sun’s last rays revealed the prize
A simple thought so deep and wise
Divine thought loves infinitely
The sun’s last rays revealed the prize
The desert glittered brilliantly
The thinker finally understood
And felt pure love for everything
The universe itself was good
The thinker finally understood
As much as any human could
Each moment is its own blessing
The thinker finally understood
And felt pure love for everything
The thinker went home smiling wide
And all were thrilled by what he’d learned
For each that heard was warmed inside
The thinker went home smiling wide
A knowing smile a gentle stride
Enlightenment was now returned
The thinker went home smiling wide
And all were thrilled with what he’d learned
So, just the thinker’s heart was changed
All other's hearts were still not full
They saw, but failed to rearrange
So, just the seeker’s heart was changed
Enlightenment is not so strange
Just wholly individual
So, just the thinker’s heart was changed
All other’s hearts were still not full
Divine thought felt such happiness
For one seeker had found at last
Humanity was a success
Divine thought felt such happiness
And gave mankind a warm caress
The test had finally been passed
Divine thought felt such happiness
For one seeker had found at last
