I was born in the shadow of an old paradigm.
But I always could see the light.
I was born seeing new horizons,
As others have before me.
And like those others,
I am at best tolerated,
And at worst cast aside.
But I am defiant.
I stand on the shoulders of giants.
When I stepped out of the shadow,
I became intoxicated.
I felt shivers running up and down my being.
I felt a freedom that bows to no tradition.
And only serves the divine.
I realized I could heartily drink from this overflowing cup of Truth.
I realized I could break the chains that bind me.

I was born in the shadow of an old paradigm.
But I always could see the light.
I was born seeing new horizons,
As others have before me.
And like those others,
I am at best tolerated,
And at worst cast aside.
But I am defiant.
I stand on the shoulders of giants.
When I stepped out of the shadow,
I became intoxicated.
I felt shivers running up and down my being.
I felt a freedom that bows to no tradition.
And only serves the divine.
I realized I could heartily drink from this overflowing cup of Truth.
I realized I could break the chains that bind me.
