The Origin Lyrics by Reflect (NFTRY)

The Translation

2018

[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
