Everything Is Everything
Ancient ones present me the wisdom
Allow me be influenced by the intuitive I Ching
Fall for nothing, stand for something
I value myself too much just to be someone's fling
Always portrayed an instinct to do the right thing
Gift me with sapphire instead of a diamond ring
In the 80’s my shoes had the fat shoestrings
Miyamoto Musashi taught me how to be a victor
In the literature of the Book of Five Rings
Never to sure what the future may be delivering
Elevate my awareness, I continue mastering
At times reality can be very frustrating
I imagine conditions could be worse all things considering
At night, if you're really quiet you'll hear the ancestors whispering
Inciting truth, knowledge, balance, and understanding
It's a shame people find being ethical challenging
Some say everything is everything
A lyrical concoction I'm propelled to bring
As I listen to the Carolina Wren sing
