Lyrics

Before the rhythm, there was rest.
Before the voice, there was light.
Before the light, there was knowing.
And knowing said: listen.
The word was not spoken — it moved.
It trembled through the stillness,
Soft as memory, bright as forgiveness.
No tongue, no air, no form —
Only meaning dreaming motion.
Only love daring to vibrate.
Word before sound,
Thought before tongue.
Creation whispering itself awake,
The drum remembering why it beats.
Echo learns the language of breath.
Silence folds into song.
Tone becomes flesh and thunder,
Bass becomes bone and dawn.
I speak and the void listens;
I listen and the void sings back.
The word travels through water,
The sound follows behind.
Each ripple a syllable,
Each reflection a rhyme.
Between them —
The world is born.
Word before sound,
Heart before drum.
The riddim spelling light into being,
The light teaching rhythm to love.
Every syllable a seed,
Every seed a star.
When you breathe,
The universe exhales with you.
Word before sound,
Silence before song.
The tongue of creation speaks once more:
I am rhythm becoming meaning,
I am light becoming form.
One word, endless echo —
And still, the silence shines.
