Principles and Paradigms – Principles are unchanging truths that shape reality, while paradigms are the lenses through which we see the world. Aligning our paradigms with true principles transforms how we think, act, and experience life.
LYRICS
(Verse 1) Principles, they’re the truth, the core, They’ve been here forever, they’re like the floor. Like gravity keeps us on the ground, They’re unchanging, they’re profound.
Paradigms? Oh, they’re how we see, The mental maps of reality. They shape our thoughts, they guide our view, But they might need a change or two!
(Chorus) Principles are laws, they never break. Paradigms are lenses we must remake. Align them right and it’ll all make sense, A blessed life is the consequence!
(Verse 2) Trust and respect — they can’t be faked, No shortcuts, no deals to make. If you want to be trusted, you must keep your word, If you want to be respected, it must be earned!
A faulty paradigm will cause untold pain,
Like steering a ship through a storm in vain. They’re not hard to see, but they are to accept,
‘Cause changing your view takes courage and depth.
(Chorus) Principles are laws, they never break, Paradigms are lenses we must remake. Align them right and it’ll all make sense, A blessed life is the consequence!
(Bridge) Learn it deep, let it grow, Act it out, let it show. Study, do, and then repeat, That’s how success becomes complete.
Don’t fight the law, dont twist the frame, Life’s not a trick, it’s not a game. See the truth, and fix yourself,
Align your heart with something else.
(Chorus) Principles are laws, they never break, Paradigms are lenses we must remake. Align them right and it’ll all make sense, A blessed life is the consequence!
(Outro) So be courageous and check your lens, Real change begins where comfort ends. Principles don’t yield, paradigms must be true, That’s the secret — now it’s up to you!
