Akira The Don, Carl Jung, Alan Watts - ANYTHING lyrics

We cannot change anything
Unless we accept it
We cannot change anything
Unless we accept it unless we accept it
Unless we accept it
We cannot change anything
Unless we accept it

Condemnation does not liberate
It oppresses and I am the oppressor
Of the person I condemn
Not his friend and fellow sufferer
Fellow sufferer
I do not in the least need to
Say that we must never pass judgment
When we desire to help and improve
But if the doctor wishes to
Help a human being
He must be able to accept him as he is
And he can do this in reality
Only when he has already seen
And accepted himself as he is as he is
Perhaps this sounds very simple
But simple things are always
The most difficult in actual life
It requires the greatest art to be simple
And so acceptance of one's self is
The essence of the moral problem
And the acid test of one's
Whole outlook on life

We cannot change anything
Unless we accept it
We cannot change anything
Unless we accept it unless we accept it
Unless we accept it
We cannot change anything
Unless we accept it that I feed the beggar
That I forgive an insult
That I love my enemy in the name of Christ
All these are undoubtedly great virtues
What I do unto the least of my brethren
That I do unto Christ
But what if I should discover that
The least amongst them all
The poorest of all beggars
The most impudent of all offenders
Ye, the very fiend himself
That these are within me
And that I myself stand in need of
The arms of my own kindness
That I myself am the enemy who must be loved
What then? Then, as a rule the whole
Truth of Christianity is reversed
There is then no more talk
Of love and long suffering
We say to the brother within us, "Raca"
And condemn and rage against ourselves
We hide him from the world
We deny ever having met this least
Among the lowly in ourselves
And had it been God himself who drew
Near to us in this despicable form
We should have denied him a thousand times
Before a single cock had crowed

We cannot change anything unless we accept it
We cannot change anything unless we accept it
Unless we accept it unless we accept it
We cannot change anything unless we accept it

We cannot change anything unless we accept it
We cannot change anything unless we accept it
Unless we accept it unless we accept it
We cannot change anything unless we accept it
