Chinmaya Dunster - 'Easy's Right' (Official Music Video) video free download

A bossa, recorded in Hamburg in 1995, with Gros Ngolle from Cameroon on bass. Heavy inspiration from Osho on the lyrics!

"Sitting out in my garden, I watch a bird,

Does it worry about tomorrow? That'd be absurd!

In the spring does the grass decide,

Whether or not to grow?

It just follows its own nature, the way its nature goes.

Religion's confusing you with darkness and light,

Whichever you choose won't be easy,

And easy's right!

Imagine the moon complaining that the sunlight isn't fair.

Or trees embarrassed when autumn strips them bare.

Is a weed ashamed to be seen growing next to a rose?

It just follows its own nature, the way its nature goes.

Without the torture of comparison life is such a delight,

When you know that the right way is easy,

And easy's right!

You run and run but inside you can't rest.

Your search for security just leads you to stress.

Drop the mind, it's the heart that knows best.

It's the heart that knows best: easy's right!

Is the cat by the fire concerned with failure or success?

No opinions bother her, she simply takes her rest.

Does the snow when the winter comes, plan which way to fall?

It just follows it's own nature, no room for doubt at all.

Ambition is killing you, as you compete for the heights.

You forgot that the right way is easy and easy's right!

Why worry when life's so clear, what the moralists write?

The right way to be is easy, And easy's right!"
