Inspired by the Bhagavad Gita

lyrics

Why
why do you worry?
We are not born nor do we die
What is happening happens for the best
What will happen happens for the best
We have come emptyhanded
We will go emptyhanded
What have you lost that you are weeping
What have you found that you have lost?
What have you built that has been broken?
You have not anything
What you have, you got from here
What was given you, was given here
What you took, you took from here
What you gave, you gave unto here
We have come emptyhanded
we will go emptyhanded
Emptyhanded
why
why toil for sorrow
And what have we to fear
What is happening happens for the best
What will happen happens for the best
We have come emptyhanded
We will go emptyhanded
Emptyhanded
