Reason Over Reverence

They built the heavens with fear in the sky,
Promised salvation but told us to die.
The weight of the world, they placed on their knees,
But truth grows in questions, not in decrees.

[Chorus]
Raise your mind to the stars, not your prayers,
Build your hope on reason’s stairs.
No need for gods to find what’s true,
The light of love is born in you.

They called it wisdom to silence dissent,
Made a virtue of guilt and a sin of content.
But knowledge is freedom, unchained by creed,
No dogma required to learn how to lead.

[Chorus]
Raise your mind to the stars, not your prayers,
Build your hope on reason’s stairs.
No need for gods to find what’s true,
The light of love is born in you.

No eternal fire, no thrones on high,
Just the vast unknown where truths collide.
We walk the earth with curious eyes,
Finding meaning where wonder lies.

[Chorus]
Raise your mind to the stars, not your prayers,
Build your hope on reason’s stairs.
No need for gods to find what’s true,
The light of love is born in you.

So let’s build a world where all can explore,
Free from the chains of the dogma of yore.
For in the search, not the faith, we’ll find,
The beauty of life and the power of mind.
