_ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ [Eb] After he had journeyed, and his feet were sore, [Cm] and he was tired, [Bb] he [G] came up on the
orange grove, [F] and he rested.
_ _ [Bb] _ _ And he [Cm] lay in the cool, and [Eb] while he rested, he took to himself an orange [Gm] and tasted it,
_ [Bb] and [Eb] it was good. _
[Cm] And he felt the earth to his spine, and he [Cm] asked, _ [Eb] and he saw the [F] tree above him, _ [Gm] and
the stars, [Dm] and the veins in the leaf, _ [Gm] and the light, _ and [Dm] the balance, and he saw _ magnificent
perfection, _ whereon he thought of himself in balance, [Eb] and he knew he was.
_ [Bb] Just hold _ _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [Bb] me, [Dm] just hold me, [Gm] oh, hold _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ [Bb] me, just hold [Gm] _ _
[Dm] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Cm] me.
_ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
[Gm] _ _ And he thought of [Eb] those he angered, for he was not a [Cm] violent man, and he thought of those
he [G] hurt, for he [F] was not a cruel man, _ [Bb] _
and he thought of those he frightened, [Cm] for he was
not an evil man.
[Eb] _ And he understood, [Gm] _ he understood himself on this.
He saw that when he [Cm] was of anger, or knew hurt, or [Bb] felt fear, it was because he was
not [F] understanding, _ and [Gm] he learned compassion, _ _ [Dm]
and with his eye of compassion, [Gm] he saw his
enemies like unto himself, _ _ and he learned love.
_ _ _ [Gm] Then [Bb] he was [Eb] answered.
_ _ _ [Bb] _
Just hold me, [Gm] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ just hold [Gm] me, oh, hold _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ me, [Bb]
just hold me.
