akira the don - grateful to the gods كلمات الأغنية

when you wake up in the morning, tell yourself
the people i deal with today will be meddling, ungrateful, arrogant, dishonest, jealous
and surly
they are like this cause they can’t tell good from evil
but i have seen the beauty of good
and the ugliness of evil
and have recognized that the wrongdoer has a nature related to my own

not of the same blood or birth, but the same mind
and possessing a share of the divine
not of the same blood or birth, but the same mind
and possessing a share of the divine

and so none of them can hurt me
no one can implicate me in ugliness
nor can i feel angry at my relative, or hate him
we were born to work together like feet, hands, and eyes
like the two rows of t–th
upper and lower
to obstruct each other is unnatural
to feel anger at someone
to turn your back on him
these are obstructions

[pre-chorus]
discard your thirst for books
so you won’t die in bitterness
but in cheerfulness and truth
grateful to the gods from the bottom of your heart
grateful to the gods from the bottom of your heart

[chorus]
discard your thirst for books
so you won’t die in bitterness
but in cheerfulness and truth
grateful to the gods from the bottom of your heart
grateful to the gods from the bottom of your heart
discard your thirst for books
so you won’t die in bitterness
but in cheerfulness and truth
grateful to the gods from the bottom of your heart
grateful to the gods from the bottom of your heart

whatever this is that i am, it is flesh, a little spirit, an intelligence
throw away your books
stop letting yourself be distracted
that is not allowed
instead, as if you were dying right now
despise your flesh!
a mess of blood, pieces of bone, a woven tangle of nerves, veins, arteries
consider what the spirit is
air
and never the same air
but vomited out and gulped in again every instant

[breathing]

finally
the intelligence
think of it this way
you are an old man
stop allowing your mind to be a slave
to be jerked about by selfish impulses
to kick against fate and the present
and to mistrust the future

what is divine is full of providence
even chance is not divorced from nature
from the inweaving and enfolding of things
governed by providence
everything proceeds from it

and then there is necessity and the needs of the whole world
of which you are a part
whatever the nature of the whole does, and whatever serves to maintain it
is good for every part of nature
the world is maintained by change
in the elements and in the things they compose
that should be enough for you
treat it as an axiom
treat it as an axiom

oh!
what a glories thing
waking up in the morning, baby
oh!
what a glories thing
yes, i have a whole day! hey!
oh!
what a glories thing
waking up in the morning, baby
oh-oh!
what a glories thing
yes, i have a whole —— day!

remember how long you’ve been putting this off
how many extensions the gods gave you
and you didn’t use them
at some point you have to recognize what world it is that you belong to
what power rules it and from what source you spring
that there is a limit to the time -ssigned you
and if you don’t use it to free yourself it will be gone
and will never
return
