Below are the lyrics to a song (“As Above, So Below) from this musical that presents the central theme and thesis of the production: the inter-connectedness of all life (a very Buddhist concept, I might mention):

  As Above, So Below 

It's said to be a mystery,

But evidence abounds,

In ethereal and material,

All principles are found. 

Why wonder what's beyond- 

Life's mirrors tell the tale…

Upon the earth are manifest,

The very things we work with here! 

This connection gives direction,

To all who seek to know,

It's expansion that brings attraction,

Whether near, whether far,

Energy does flow. 

As above, so below,

As above, so below, 

(Child questions)  From them to us, from us to them?

(Answer)  There's no “us” and “them- we're One!

Some are the hands, some are the feet, some are the eyes and ears,

So does the work get done.  

As above, so below,

As above, so below. 

Inspiration brings new action,

Like atoms following the rule of eight,

Everybody's looking to unite with those, who stimulate their mind and souls,

To bond with those who generate the same (vibration) 

As above, so below,

As above, so below. 

We link, and link, and link, and link,

The spectrum do we cover,

Degreed awareness is what we are,

Building upon each other. 

As above, so below,

As above, so below. 

Wait a moment, let me see…

It's starting to be clear;

We're all reflections of each other,

So there is no there nor here, no here nor there? 

As above, so below,

As above, so below.

Exactly- see, it's not that strange!

Our thoughts like rivers flow,

We send out intentions through all dimensions,

And focus makes them grow.

Focus makes them grow!  

As above, so below, 

(Reflect, protect, direct, collect, connect!)

As above, so below,

(Contemplate, illuminate, elevate, initiate, radiate,

Incubate, reciprocate, In this way we all create!) 

As above, so below,

As above, so below.

As above, so below,

As above, so below. 

It's really simple, don't you see?

Love's the highest energy,

On Compassion wings it flies,

'Cross the veil of Space and Time.
