Текст пісні
begin by listening
If you simply close your eyes and allow yourself to hear
All the sounds that are going on around you
Just listen to the general hum and buzz of the world
As if you were listening to music
Don't try to identify the sounds you are hearing
Don't put names on them
Simply allow them to play with your eardrums
Don't judge the sounds
There are no as it were proper sounds nor improper sounds
It's all just sound
As you hear sounds coming up in your head
You simply listen to them as part of the general noise going on
And soon you will find
That the so-called outside world
And the so-called inside world come together
I want you to listen to the sound of my voice
Just as if it were noise
Don't try to make any sense out of what I'm saying
Because your brain will take care of that automatically
You don't have to try to understand anything
Just listen to the sound
As you hear sounds coming up in your head
You simply listen to them as part of the general noise going on
And soon you will find
That the so-called outside world
And the so-called inside world come together
They are a happening
And everything is simply a happening
And all you're doing is watching it
