One and the Many

See these people walking around
The crowded streets, rat race of man
Running in circles, on and on
Like mice in a wheel, without end
Look closer now and you will see
A pattern appear, it’s everywhere
Right in front of your eyes
You just need to see
Call it a game, a mystery
All we know, but fail to see
Fragments of infinity
It’s all the same to me
You think you’re independent
Think you are free, but you’re not
You’re just a part of the whole
Of the machine, part of the plot
You read the lines but you didn’t read in between
Just like the lot of mankind
And truth is disguised, unseen
Call it a game, a mystery
All we know, but fail to see
Fragments of infinity
It’s all the same to me
We are one and the many
One in this life
Bound to our planet, we long to the sky
We are kindred souls, all intertwined
Pieces of a puzzle, born from the light
It’s all around, everywhere
It’s in all that we see
Simple as that
We can’t escape it, we are trapped
In a greater scheme
Of cause and effect
If one were to read the patterns beyond
He would see how all interacts
The answers are all around
Within your reach
Call it a game, a mystery
All we know, but fail to see
Fragments of infinity
The hand of a guiding agency
Call it meaning, significance
Call it chance, coincidence
Call it patterns in randomness
Inane analysis
Call it fate, call it cruelty
Or genius ingenuity
Call it truth or contingency
A book of all, cosmic symphony
Call it structure, call it design
Call it fiction, a greater mind
Call it grace, call it destiny
Call it faith, say it’s meant to be
Call it love, call it caring hands
Call it trust, call it providence
Call it science, cause and consequence
Call it life, gift of consciousness
We are on and the many
One in this life
Bound to our planet, we long to the sky
We are kindred souls, all intertwined
Pieces of a puzzle, born from the light
(Meanwhile, in another part of the city…)
Stop that man, I’ve been robbed!
Which way did he go?
We’ll catch him
He’s running off
Which way?
I don’t know, I can not say
He can not be far
Oh wait! there he goes
We’re on his trail
He won’t get away
That’s all that I know
Things went wrong, I’ve been seen!
Get out of my way!
And it seems they’re coming for me
I think I’d better run for my life
Head over heels
(to Ezio) Don’t move, stay right here
And wait, all will become clear
Very soon you will see
Very soon you will see
It seems I lost them
One look back
One look I’ll cast and
Turn my head
Wait, what’s that man doing there?
Why would anyone just stand there?
So unaware, get away!
It’s too late to stop
(Vincent runs into Ezio who was waiting on the street, like Lev told him…)
