Moody Blues - The Balance

Moody Blues - The Balance


After he had journeyed,
And his feet were sore,
And 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.

These lyrics are the most profound think I've ever heard. It says it all. I loved the Moodies back in the 60's & 70's when they were modern-day prophets. Hearing Mike Pinder's mellotron live in concert, gave me a body-rush out of this world. The Moodies were never the same without the Mellotron.

This song is so deep and emotional and beautiful and so perfect. God, this song always brings tears to my eyes everytime i hear it!! The words hold so true to this life and how we should live. The need to understand and to feel complete compassion. This song is just gorgeous!! A masterpiece for sure!! They dont make songs like this today. Songs with real meaning. Such a shame. Missing these days!!

[steggieone]

"And he thought of those he'd hurt, for he was not a cruel man." Incredible. Gives me chills every time.
