02. No Pedigree for Love

[Intro] In the laboratory glow, The glass begins to sing, Somebody names the future Like a crown upon a king. [Verse 1] They weighed the child in theories, They measured blood and bone, They drew a map of heaven And called the map their own. But mercy has no chromosome That tyrants can command, And no one owns tomorrow With a ruler in their hand. [Pre-Chorus] Do not carve a soul from numbers, Do not breed a throne from fear; Every cradle is a question, Every heartbeat is sincere. [Chorus] No pedigree for love, No perfect line above, No silver cage can make the heart divine. We are more than blood, More than dust and mud, More than any cold design. No pedigree for love, Let the proud machine be still; If the future needs a miracle, Let it start with human will. [Verse 2] Some seek partners like equations, Some seek beauty like a law, Some confuse a chosen union With a weapon and a flaw. But the garden grows by mixing, By the rain no empire planned; There is wisdom in the crossing Of the river and the land. [Hook] Love is not a pedigree, Love is not a chain. [Extension 1 - Verse 3] History speaks in ashes When selection loses grace, When the powerful name the worthy And erase the human face. Yet desire still keeps searching For a body, mind, and flame, For a match that feels like music, For a future with a name. [Bridge] Consent is the holy border, Dignity the law of light, Science kneels when wisdom enters, Power trembles before right. Let no nation own the cradle, Let no theory own the bride; If two hearts choose the crossing, Let compassion be their guide. [Chorus] No pedigree for love, No perfect line above, No silver cage can make the heart divine. We are more than blood, More than dust and mud, More than any cold design. [Chant] Love is not a pedigree. Love is not a chain. Love is not a ministry Of beautiful pain. [Extension 2 - Final Movement] Bring the daughters of the islands, Bring the sons of every shore, Bring the minds that build the bridges, Bring the hands that heal the poor. But bring no whip, no cold commandment, No catalogue of human worth; Let the child be born to welcome, Not to prove a kingdom's birth. [Final Moral] If we improve without compassion, We deform the thing we praise; If we love with truth and freedom, We may bless the coming days. [Final Chorus] No pedigree for love, No perfect line above, No silver cage can make the heart divine. We are more than blood, More than dust and mud, More than any cold design. No pedigree for love, Let the proud machine be still; If the future needs a miracle, Let it start with human will. [Outro] Love is not a pedigree. Love is not a chain.
