First

Verse 1:
First, the best, a crown on the head,
"My land, my right, my will," it is said.
"America First," the king on his throne,
The striving for power, a tone all alone.
But look at life; science makes it clear:
Alone, nothing stands—it will disappear.
Be it human, nation, or the Earth as one,
The lone destroys what it claims it has won.
Chorus:
Forgetting the center, ignoring the heart,
Those chasing the one will fall apart.
Without the zero, that which unites,
The beginning turns to an end, no light.
Verse 2:
"Me first!" – the motto that loudly rings,
Yet harmony's what every system brings.
A man who thinks he stands alone,
Will lose the world and the self he's shown.
The Earth sustains, but it cannot give
Without respect for all that lives.
To be the one makes the world so cold,
Without diversity, no joy takes hold.
Chorus:
Forgetting the center, ignoring the heart,
Those chasing the one will fall apart.
Without the zero, that which unites,
The beginning turns to an end, no light.
Bridge:
In the cosmos that breathes, it’s the system that reigns,
The balance of all lets harmony remain.
In blood, in cells, in every strand,
Lies the principle that life understands.
One person, one land, one whole planet too,
Cannot exist if balance isn’t true.
The one may shine, but it stands alone,
Without the whole, it can’t grow, just stone.
Verse 3:
The one who takes, but refuses to give,
Will never truly learn how to live.
The Earth is calling, but who will hear?
The self-absorbed lose what’s most dear.
The center calls; it bears the weight,
The one will fade; what’s left is hate.
A land, a man, in balance must stand,
Only then can we truly understand.
Chorus:
Forgetting the center, ignoring the heart,
Those chasing the one will fall apart.
Without the zero, that which unites,
The beginning turns to an end, no light.
Outro:
The zero is space that life bestows,
The one, so fast, reaps what it sows.
No beginning without empty ground,
The center’s the tree where life is found.
