The Balance Lyrics - A Question Of Balance - Moody Blues

After he had journeyed, 

And his feet were sore, 

And he was tired, 

He came upon an orange grove 

And he rested 

And he lay in the cool, 

And while he rested, he took to himself an orange and tasted it, 

And it was good. 

And he felt the earth to his spine, 

And he asked, and he saw the tree above him, and the stars, 

And the veins in the leaf, 

And the light, and the balance. 

And he saw magnificent perfection, 

Whereon he thought of himself in balance, 

And he knew he was.

Just open your eyes, 

And realize, the way it's always been. 

Just open your mind 

And you will find 

The way it's always been. 

Just open your heart 

And that's a start. 

And he thought of those he angered, 

For he was not a violent man, 

And he thought of those he hurt 

For he was not a cruel man 

And he thought of those he frightened 

For he was not an evil man, 

And he understood. 

He understood himself. 

Upon this he saw that when he was of anger or knew hurt or felt fear, 

It was because he was not understanding, 

And he learned, compassion. 

Photos 

And with his eye of compassion. 

He saw his enemies like unto himself, 

And he learned love. 

Then, he was answered. 

Just open your eyes, 

And realize, the way it's always been. 

Just open your mind 

And you will find 

The way it's always been. 

Just open your heart 

And that's a start.
