Lyrics The Smokey Mirror - Buck Bowen

We've been domesticated, since the days of old
Listen to these four agreements if you want to break the mold
Take control, move forward keep reaching
You can positively change with just these simple four agreements

Number one, be impeccable with your word
Say only what you mean if you want to be understood
It has a double edge on one side you can ruin stuff
Or on the other manifest intentions full of truth and love

The word is like a spell
You can conjure heaven and on earth or create a living hell
Don't judge yourself, speak with integrity
The word can keep you captured or be used to set you free

Number two, take nothing personal
What others say about you truly cannot hurt your soul
But you become easy prey
When you care about gossip and what other people say

Don't be selfish and make yourself a victim
By accepting the projections of someone else's opinion
If you do then watch your suffering swell
But if you don't you'll be immune in the middle of hell

We've been domesticated, since the days of old
Listen to these four agreements if you want to break the mold
Take control, move forward keep reaching
You can positively change with just these simple four agreements

We've been domesticated, since the days of old
Listen to these four agreements if you want to break the mold
Take control, move forward keep reaching
You can positively change with just these simple four agreements

Number three, don't make assumptions
When you assume it sets you up for suffering
It's poison, and inside the dream of hell
It takes the form of gossiping remember the word is like a spell

Leave nothing to suggestion
Have the courage to communicate clearly in your expressions
Always clarify with questions
To avoid the suffering of assuming something or guessing

Number four, always do your best
Any less and you subject yourself to judgement and regret
This is all about the action of the first three
As you build these habits your best becomes better than what it used to be

You'll live intensely and productive
Transformation happens naturally no past worry or judgement
Your best will change depending on conditions
But no matter what you must give a hundred percent commitment

We've been domesticated, since the days of old
Listen to these four agreements if you want to break the mold
Take control, move forward keep reaching
You can positively change with just these simple four agreements

We've been domesticated, since the days of old
Listen to these four agreements if you want to break the mold
Take control, move forward keep reaching
You can positively change with just these simple four agreements
