V5

[Intro] (Verse 1) Take a look at the maestro who plays on the keys, Or the dancer who spins with ridiculous ease! Do you think it was just from a year of routine? Oh, my friend, there is much more behind the scenes! It’s not just the practice, it’s not just the sweat, It’s a cosmic arrangement you shouldn't forget. Hidden deep in the soul, where the memory sleeps, Is a magical vault that the universe keeps! (Chorus) Oh, it’s the Talent Kernel! Substance sixteen! The brightest little engine that you’ve never seen! Building up your gifts from the lives you have led, Storing every masterstroke inside of your head! From a stumbling beginner to a virtuoso spark, The Talent Kernel lights up the dark! (Verse 2) When you pick up a brush and you know how to paint, Or you sing like an angel, a scholar, a saint. It’s the harvest of lifetimes, of trial and of error, Refining the spirit, defeating the terror! In the Book of Life, as Martinus has told, Every skill that you learn turns to spiritual gold! It crosses the boundaries of body and time, And gives you the rhythm, the reason, the rhyme! (Chorus) Oh, it’s the Talent Kernel! Substance sixteen! The brightest little engine that you’ve never seen! Building up your gifts from the lives you have led, Storing every masterstroke inside of your head! From a stumbling beginner to a virtuoso spark, The Talent Kernel lights up the dark! (Bridge) Substance sixteen in the supraconscious mind! Leaving the struggles and the clumsiness behind! Automatic action! A genius awake! No effort is wasted, no genuine mistake! Lifetime to lifetime, we grow and we soar, Whatever you master, is yours evermore! (Chorus) Yes, it's the Talent Kernel! Substance sixteen! The brightest little engine that you’ve never seen! Building up your gifts from the lives you have led, Storing every masterstroke inside of your head! From a stumbling beginner to a virtuoso spark, The Talent Kernel lights up the dark! (Outro) So play that piano! And sing out that song! Your kernel of talent has known all along! Substance sixteen! [Choir answers] Substance sixteen! It's the ultimate prize! Now open your eyes... And take a bow!
