Victor Wooten - Yin Yang (2003) by Victor Wooten (보컬) on maniadb.com

U are me and I am U.
I love u for who u are not what u do.
U are pure down to the core.
I know that u're still what u were before.

Do trust but not for show.
U will only believe what u don't know.
Don't try. Just allow.
Open up to love, baby, it will show u how.

(Chorus) I am your brother. U are my son.
We are your sister and the journey's almost done.
And u've heard it time and time again so tell me wont u listen then.
It's true when I say we all are one.

All is love so do not fear.
Your attachment to illusion is what keeps u here.
Do bless all that is wrong.
That is what allows u to sing your song.

True thoughts from what u feel.
Won't u open up your heart to what is real?
I AM and u are too.
If u will just choose me, I choose u.

(Chorus)

Come on in and take a seat, hear what I have to tell.
About a pretty little lady, she's my girl.
All the men adore her and with me that is OK.
'Cause if u look u'll see she still with me at the end of each day.

(Chorus) Everybody wants my pretty little lady.
Everybody wants my pretty little girl.
Everybody wants my pretty little lady.
Everybody wants my pretty little girl.

Pretty little lady's gonna come see me at noon.
I've got to wake up early just to make sure I'm in tune.
All the men, they try to win just like it is a game.
"But let me tell u Rover the game is over. What's my name? VICTOR"

(Chorus)

She loves me. I know this.
She doesn't have to tell me so.
She thrills me with one kiss.
And when u see her u will know?

(Chorus),
Bass solo,
Instrumental bridge,
(Chorus)

Walking down the street
People that I see
Turn around and walk the other way.

I don't want no trouble
Stay in my own little bubble
That's a game I don't wanna play.

U can call me what u want.
I don't even know your name.
But Oooo my dear
Won't u hear me loud and clear?
I love u. I love u just the same.

(Chorus) I'm just singing my song
Hoping we get along, someday.
(Can't we get along, just get along?)
Then we all will be free.
U be u I'll be me, OK?

One says to the other
That u're my brother
Just as long as u look like me.

It would be a little better
If we all would sing together,
Harmonize in the same key.

The day is coming soon,
The day we will all understand.
But until we do, I will keep loving u
And then I'll see u in another land.

(Chorus)

Walking down the street one day
Everybody looked at me and turned the other way.
Tell me what did I do? What did I say?
What, is my hair too long? Did I do something too wrong? Do u not like my song?

I know I sing out of tune. I can auto fix it real soon.
I'm just a bass player not a singer. Not a talker just a thinker.
I guess I'll think for 2 beats.
1, 2 that was fun. Now I'm done.

Why u have to call me that name?
Can't u see that we're all the same?
Well if u can't see it who's the blame?

Just because I'm darker and u're lighter
Doesn't make me wronger and u righter.
Sometimes I laugh and I don't know why for
But I know I don't wanna cry no more.

Uh Oh. Gotta go. Somebody's knocking at my door.
And it's time that we all get along
'Cause I'm tired of singing this song!

(Chorus)

Yeah, I mean, I know. It's a scary thought though. Well not really scary but sometimes
Something that's mind opening can appear scary.
I don't know, I just think we should all just sit down and think, even if we just think just
A little bit, um, the answers will probably all show up.

(Where would u lead them? Think about that. If the whole world decided to follow U.)

Yeah, absolutely. But before we can think about leading anybody, I think we should think about where we're leading ourselves. (Think about that.)

No, I know what u mean. It's not a job I would want, trying to lead anybody. I mean, I have trouble leading myself. (Where would u lead them?)

But if I had to lead anybody anywhere I think I would, I'd probably just try to lead them back to themselves.
Yeah, because, the self is not a place that u can lead anyone. Everybody would have to find their own way, and then the leading job would be over for me. I like that.

Yeah, but when we're first born, u know, we're our own person but soon after, u know, when we start to learn and we learn from our parents and we start to go to school, we really, quickly start to get away from ourselves.

I mean, u can't really go through any structured teaching, uh, learning establishment with your own ideas. U know, u're always taught to fit in. But what are we fitting into?
U know, don't color outside the lines. Who drew the lines in the first place. I don't know
(Think about that!)

Right. That makes sense. Yeah, but I've spent my whole life trying to be in control of myself. But I dislike any one or any situation that tries to control me.
So, check this out. My trying to control myself just causes me to dislike myself. I'm finally understanding it.
I should just let me be. That's what I ask everybody else to do.

Right, yeah exactly, yeah, the act of trying to control something usually means that there's something wrong with it, and so that means we have to control it obviously.
To control something usually means taking its freedom away. So why would I spend a life fighting for freedom, just so I can take it away. Um, In the name of control.

(If the whole world decided today, to follow u. where would u lead them? Think about that)

Vibrations? Yeah, it's actually pretty simple. The thing is nothing ever stops vibrating.
Scientists know that, I mean they'll tell u that everything is a vibration. Right, yeah.
I mean, things vibrate faster they may appear as light, slower it may appear as something solid or something like that. But even thoughts are vibrations.

But the key here is that nothing ever stops vibrating, ever.
So check it out. Everything that ever vibrated is still vibrating. Everything that ever was still is. That's cool.

Yeah, me too. It's really makes me want to pay attention to the vibrations that I'm putting out there.
"Cause do they ever go away? (Think about that!)

(If the whole world decided to follow u?)

OK, Yeah, It's been fun.

(?Where would u lead them?)

I love u too, Bye Bye
