What is divine deserves our respect because it is good
What is human deserves our affection because it is like us
What is divine deserves our respect because it is good
What is human deserves our affection because it is like us

Yo
Nothing is more pathetic than people who run around in circles
Delving into the things that lie beneath
And conducting investigation
Into the souls of the people around them
When all you have to do
Is to pay attention to the power inside you
And worship it sincerely
Keep it from becoming muddied with turmoil
Becoming aimless and dissatisfied with nature
Just worship it sincerely
Keep it from becoming muddied with turmoil
Becoming aimless and dissatisfied with nature

(Divine and human)

[Chorus]
What is divine deserves our respect because it is good
What is human deserves our affection because it is like us
What is divine deserves our respect because it is good
What is human deserves our affection because it is like us
And our pity too
Sometimes
For its inability to tell good from bad as terrible
A blindness
As the kind that can’t tell white from black
Even if you’re going to live 3000 more years
Or ten times that, remember
You can’t lose another life than this one
You can’t live another than you’re losing
The longest amounts to the same as the shortest
The present is the same for everyone
Its loss is the same for everyone
And it should be clear
That a brief instant is all that is lost
Cause you can’t lose either past or the future
How could you lose what you don’t have?
Remember two things

One
Everything has always been the same
Everything has always been the same
Everything has always been the same
Everything has always been the same
Keeps recurring
Ey
Ey
Everything has always been the same
Everything has always been the same
Everything has always been the same
Everything has always been the same
Keeps recurring
[Chorus]
What is divine deserves our respect because it is good
What is human deserves our affection because it is like us
What is divine deserves our respect because it is good
What is human deserves our affection because it is like us

Everything has always been the same
Everything has always been the same
Everything has always been the same
Everything has always been the same
(Yo)

The longest-lived and those who will die soonest lose the same thing
The present is all they can give up
The present is all they can give up
Since that’s all you have
And what you do not have you cannot lose
Ay - Ay - Ay
That’s all you have
And what you do not have
You cannot lose

That’s all you have!
And what you do not have!
You cannot lose!
