All Seems Beautiful to Me
From this hour I ordain myself loos’d of imaginary lines
Going where I list, my own master total and absolute
Listening to others, considering well what they say
Pausing, searching, receiving, contemplating
Gently, but with undeniable will, divesting myself from the holds that would hold me
I inhale great draughts of space
The East and the West are mine, and the North and the South are mine

I am larger, better than I thought
I did not know I held so much goodness

All seems beautiful to me
All seems beautiful to mе
I can repeat over and ovеr to men and women
You have done such good to me, I would do the same to you
You have done such good to me, I would do the same to you
You have done such good to me, I would do the same to you

I will recruit for myself and you as I go
I will scatter myself among men and women as I go
I will toss a new gladness and roughness among them
(All seems beautiful to me, All seems beautiful to me)
I will toss a new gladness and roughness among them
(All seems beautiful to me, All seems beautiful to me)

All seems beautiful to me
Whoever denies me it shall not trouble me
Whoever accepts me he or she shall be blessed and shall bless me
