Akira The Don, Alan Watts - So It Goes lyrics

Motion it'self is a function of relationship
For example if there is only one object
One small ball in the middle of endless space
Nobody knows whether it’s moving
Because you can’t tell whether
It’s approaching anything
Or whether it’s going away from anything
Because there’s nothing else
So in that state of affairs, no motion exists
But if we introduce a second
Ball into the picture
And the two either come towards each other
Or go away from each other
Then we can say that both of them
Or either of them is in motion
We can’t decide which is the one that’s doing
The moving, because it could be one
It could be the other
Now we’ll put three balls into space
And we find two of them staying together
And the other one going away
Now, it’s up to the two of them
To decide whether the other one
Is going away from them or they’re
Going away from the other
Because two is a majority
And the vote, always of course goes to
The majority the universe being, basically
A democratic organization

And so it goes –
(So it goes, So it goes, So it goes
So it goes) so it goes –
(So it goes, So it goes, So it goes
So it goes) so it goes –
(So it goes, So it goes, So it goes
So it goes)
So it goes – (So it goes, So it goes)
So it goes – (So it goes, So it goes)

And now, once you’ve got that
You can see that motion is
A form of relationship
Let me put it in another way:
Energy is a form of relationship
If the universe is basically
A play of energy, then you can say energy
And relationship go together
Now, what is this saying?
This is saying that being, existence it'self
Is relationship

And so it goes –
(So it goes, So it goes, So it goes
So it goes) so it goes –
(So it goes, So it goes, So it goes
So it goes) so it goes –
(So it goes, So it goes, So it goes
So it goes)
So it goes – (So it goes, So it goes)
So it goes – (So it goes, So it goes)
