The Scale

You thought about your future
And you didn’t see a sign
So you start to worry
You pull yourself together
because you have always been a fighter
but you never understood
that everything’s just giving and receiving
there’s no such thing as one way
just read the signs
and if you think that you don’t see them
turn on the lights
Stretch out my arms
and slowly walk
a straight line from me to you
You ask for liberation
you, the slave of condemnation
what you give is what you get
This is the song of clever sayings
but believe me some are true
What goes around that comes around
and what you give is what you get
Stretch out my arms
and slowly walk
a straight line from me to you
There’s a scale that holds the world
that holds the world together
so let’s try to keep in balance
A constant giving and receiving
there’s no such thing as one way
Just read the signs
and if you think that you don’t see them
turn on the lights
