[Gm] _ _ _ _ After [Eb] he had journeyed, and his feet were sore, [Cm]
and he was tired, he [G] came upon an orange
grove, [F] and he rested, _ _
[Bb] _ _ and he lay in the [Cm] cool, _ and while he [Eb] rested he took to himself an
orange and [Gm] tasted it, _ _ [Eb] and it was good, _ and he felt the earth to his spine, and [Gm] he asked, _
[Eb] and he saw the [F] tree above him, _ [Gm] and the stars, [Dm] and the veins in the leaf, _ and the [Gm] light, _
_ and the balance, and he [Gm] saw _ magnificent perfection, [Dm] _
whereon he thought of himself in balance,
[Eb] and he knew he was. _

_ _ [Gm] _ _ And he thought of [Eb] those he angered, for he was not a [Cm] violent man,
and he thought of [G] those he hurt, for [F] he 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 [Eb] himself upon
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, [Gm] _ _ and he learned [Dm] love, _ _ _ [Gm] _ then [Bb] he was [Eb] answered. _ _ _
