The prince sat restless; brow furrowed tight
Asked the old master, "What makes wrong and right?"
Where is the evil, where does it hide?
In the hungry rat that steals the grain, or in the cat's stride.
The rat sees the cat as death in disguise,
But to the cat, it's a meal for hungry eyes.
It's just the nature of things, yeah, the way the world spins round
Like summer sun on fields of gold, or thunder's crashing sound
No blame to the river, rushing to the sea
Or the mighty oak, standing strong and free
We're all just players in this grand cosmic play
So why fight the current, darling? Let it take you away
The master smiles, a twinkle in his gaze
"There's no villain, son, just creatures in a maze
Each following instincts, a primal decree
Survival's the game, in the wild and the free."
"But surely," the prince pressed, "there's a right and a wrong,
One steals the food, the other sings a song."
The master chuckled, "Nature's got no score,
Just the dance of predator, the fight for a little more."
It's just the nature of things, yeah, the way the world spins round
Like summer sun on fields of gold, or thunder's crashing sound
No blame to the river, rushing to the sea
Or the mighty oak, standing strong and free
We're all just players in this grand cosmic play
So why fight the current, darling? Let it take you away
If someone hurts you, with a callous hand,
Will anger answer, will it make them understand?
The universe whispers, a rhythm so grand
It holds the wolf and the rabbit, hand in hand
We're all connected, part of the endless show
So let love be the compass, wherever you may go.
It's just the nature of things, yeah, the way the world spins round
Like summer sun on fields of gold, or thunder's crashing sound
No blame to the river, rushing to the sea
Or the mighty oak, standing strong and free
We're all just players in this grand cosmic play
So why fight the current, darling? Let it take you away
Let the rain fall, let the river flow
Find your own peace, watch your spirit grow
Don't fight the current, just let your worries be
One with the universe, you'll find harmony.
