The Balance

After he had journeyed
 And his feet were sore, he was tired
 He came upon an orange grove
 And he rested
 And he lay in the cool
 And while he rested, he took to himself an orange and tasted it
 And it was good
 And he felt the Earth to his spine and he asked
 And he saw the tree above him
 And the stars
 And the veins in the leaf
 And the light
 And the balance
 And he saw magnificent perfection
 Whereon he thought of himself in balance
 And he knew he was
 Just open your eyes and realize the way it's always been
 Just open your mind and you will find the way it's always been
 Just open your heart and that's a start

 And he thought of those he angered
 For he was not a violent man
 And he thought of those he hurt
 For he was not a cruel man
 And he thought of those he frightened
 For he was not an evil man
 And he understood, he understood himself
 Upon this he saw that when he was of anger or knew hurt or felt fear
 It was because he was not understanding
 And he learned compassion
 And with his eye of compassion
 He saw his enemies like unto himself
 And he learned love
 Then he was answered
 Just open your eyes and realize the way it's always been
 Just open your mind and you will find the way it's always been
 Just open your heart and that's a start
 Do you, do you, do you, do you realize?
 Just open your eyes and realize the way it's always been
 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
 Just open your mind and you will find the way it's always been
 Just open your heart
 Just open your heart and that's a start
