Akira The Don feat. Alan Watts - Why Have You Come Here Lyrics

Lyrics Why Have You Come Here - Akira the Don , Alan Watts



So, it all comes down to this basic question
That human beings have, for a long, long time
Been concerned about transforming their minds
Is there any way in which one's mind can be transformed
Or is it simply a process which is nothing more than a vicious circle?
I could ask
Why have you come here? What were you looking for?
Why have you come here? What were you looking for?
Why have you come here? What were you looking for?
Why have you come here? What were you looking for?
Would it be too presumptuous of to say
That you were looking for help?
That you hopеd you would hear somebody who had something to say
That would be of help and relevance to you, as members of a world
Which is running into the most intense difficulty?
A world beset by a complex of problems
Any one of which would be bad enough
But when you add together all, all the great political, social
And ecological problems with which we are faced, they are appalling
And one naturally says, "The reason why we are in such a mess
Is not simply that we have wrong systems for doing things
Whether they be technological, political, or religious."
Hallelujah!
But we have the wrong people
The systems may be all right, but they are in the
Wrong hands because we are all
In various ways, self-seeking, lacking in wisdom
Lacking in courage, afraid of death, afraid of pain
Unwilling, really, to cooperate with others
Unwilling to be open to others
And we all think that's too bad
It's me that's wrong
Why have you come here? What were you looking for?
Why have you come here? What were you looking for?
Why have you come here? What were you looking for?
Why have you come here? What were you looking for?
Yeah, boy!
Yeah, boy!
