First Mover Verse 1 Everything that moves was moved, Every flame was once a spark, Every wave began somewhere, Every dawn disturbed the dark. From the turning of the planets To the beating of a heart, Follow every chain of change— Where did motion ever start? Pre-Chorus Can the endless line go backward With no reason, source, or ground? Or beyond the world of motion, Can the unmoved One be found? Chorus First Mover, Stillness at the source of everything, First Mover, The silent cause that taught the stars to spin. Unchanged, yet causing change, Unmoved, yet moving all— The ground beneath existence, The answer to the call. First Mover, Is that the name we give to God? Verse 2 Aristotle sought the origin Behind potential becoming real— Why the possible awakens, Why the turning cosmic wheel. Then Aquinas built a doorway From philosophy to faith: Every change requires a changer, But the first must stand in place. Pre-Chorus Not another link dependent, Not another borrowed flame— Pure actuality eternal, Being without change. Chorus First Mover, Stillness at the source of everything, First Mover, The silent cause that taught the stars to spin. Unchanged, yet causing change, Unmoved, yet moving all— The ground beneath existence, The answer to the call. First Mover, Is that the name we give to God? Bridge Not a hand that pushed creation Then withdrew beyond the night, But the source of every moment, Every order, every life. Not a being among beings, Not one object in the sky— But the reason there is something, The foundation under “why.” Final Chorus First Mover, Stillness at the source of everything, First Mover, The well from which all possibility springs. Unchanged, yet causing change, Unmoved, yet moving all— The ground of all existence, The reason anything is here at all. First Mover, Is that the name we give to God? Outro Everything that moves was moved, Every flame was once a spark— Follow every light returning To the source beyond the dark.
