“IT’S UP TO US”
Music: César Orozco, Jeremy Bosch
Lyrics: César Orozco, Jeremy Bosch, Roque García
Dos grandes caminos tiene la humanidad
Dos aves destinadas a volar en hermandad
El cóndor representa la intuición y el corazón
El águila la lógica, la ciencia y la razón
Así será, así lo cuenta la leyenda
Donde un cielo las conecta para siempre
Sin mirar nunca hacia atrás
Depende de nosotros el pensar
Depende de nosotros levantar el vuelo
Cruzando el cielo bajo un mismo sol
Porque hay razones suficientes
Pa’ darse cuenta de que juntos es mejor
El águila construye su camino de poder
El cóndor legendario reconstruye su saber
Siempre existirán mil caminos por andar
Pero con un solo destino llegando al mismo lugar
Así será, así lo cuenta la leyenda
Donde un cielo las conecta para siempre
Sin mirar nunca hacia atrás
Depende de nosotros el soñar
Depende de nosotros levantar el vuelo
Cruzando el cielo bajo un mismo sol
Porque hay razones suficientes
Para encontrar la luz volando juntos
It’s up to you and me to make it right
It’s up to you and me to try and fly together
Forever we can share the same blue skies
It doesn’t hurt to realize
It’s up to us to make it to the other side
Tanto tuvo que pasar para ver con claridad
Nuestra relación, nuestra revelación
Norte y Sur, conciencia y corazón
En un solo vuelo al sol
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
It’s up to us
It’s up to us
It’s up to us
It’s up to us
Depende de nosotros el soñar
Depende de nosotros levantar el vuelo
Cruzando el cielo bajo un mismo sol
Porque hay razones suficientes
Para encontrar la luz volando juntos
It’s up to you and me to make it right
It’s up to you and me to try and fly together
Forever we can share the same blue skies
It doesn’t hurt to realize
It’s up to us to make it to the other side
THE PROPHECY
OF THE EAGLE
AND THE CONDOR
The Prophecy of the Eagle and the Condor probably began more than two thousand years ago. It may have come out of the Amazon and then traveled throughout the Andes. It says: “Back in the mists of history, human societies took two routes. The Eagle peoples flew the path of the mind, of science, technology, and industry. The Condor peoples flew the path of the heart, of passion, intuition, and spiritual connections with nature.” It goes on to explain that for centuries they would never meet.
Then in the Fourth Pachacuti (in Quechua, the language of the Andes, a five hundred-year interval), which began in about 1500 AD on our calendar, their paths would cross; the Eagle would nearly drive the Condor into extinction. But not quite.
The prophecy says that five hundred years later, at the beginning of the Fifth Pachacuti—now—the opportunity arises for the Eagle and the Condor to fly together, to mate, and to produce a new offspring, higher consciousness.
History confirms the first prophecy. Columbus, 1492. The Eagle swept into Condor territory and almost wiped out the Indigenous peoples. But not quite.
Now, five hundred years later the prophecy is being fulfilled again. The Eagle and Condor are coming together to create higher consciousness. It is happening!
