The Grand Initiation

**[Intro]** They told you the world Was already written. Finished. Measured. Named. ... Come. Bring only your questions. --- **[Verse I]** Every road begins with footsteps. Every map begins with doubt. Every prison has a doorway No one thought to look about. You were handed careful answers Long before you learned to see. Now the oldest door is opening— Curiosity. --- **[Pre-Chorus]** The illusionist Moves your eyes. The Hierophant Moves your questions. One conceals the hidden thread. One invites you To pull it. --- **[Chorus]** Lift the lantern. Not to find the answer. Lift the lantern To find the question Waiting underneath. Every certainty Casts a shadow. Every shadow Hides a path. Walk with wonder. Walk awake. The world Is larger Than your map. --- **[Verse II]** What if fear Was never wisdom? What if "always" Learned to bend? What if strangers Held a doorway To a place You've never been? Who decided Where thought ended? Who first measured Where minds stop? What survives When one assumption Quietly... Drops? --- **[Bridge]** Not every answer Needs destroying. Not every tradition Needs to fall. Some become stronger When examined. Some dissolve Without a war. The miracle Isn't certainty. The miracle Is seeing Another way. --- **[Final Chorus]** Carry questions Like bright lanterns. Share them freely. Hold them light. Leave room For someone else's journey. Leave room For changing your own. This is your initiation. Not into certainty. Into wonder. Welcome.
