THE GOD OF SPINOZA 가사

Stop praying and beating your chest What I want you to do is go out into the world And enjoy your life I want you to have fun, sing, enjoy yourself And savor everything I have made for you Stop going to these gloomy, dark, and cold temples That you yourself built and that you believe to be my home My home is in the mountains, in the woods, in the rivers, on the beaches That is where I live and express my love for you Stop blaming me for your miserable life I never told you you were a sinner Stop reading so-called sacred scriptures that have nothing to do with me If you can't read me in a sunrise, in a landscape In the gaze of your friends, in the eyes of your little child You won't find me in any book Stop being so afraid of me I don't judge you, nor do I criticize you Nor do I get angry, nor do I get bothered Nor do I punish you I am pure love Stop asking me for forgiveness There is nothing to forgive If I made you I filled you with passions, with limitations With pleasures, with feelings, with needs With inconsistencies, with free will How can I punish you for being who you are If I am the one who made you? Do you think I could create a place to burn all my children Who don't behave well for the rest of eternity? What kind of God could do that? Forget any kind of commandment They're tricks to manipulate you, to control you That only make you feel guilty Respect your neighbor And don't do to others what you wouldn't want done to you The only thing I ask of you is that you pay attention to your life Let your awareness be your guide You are absolutely free to make your life a heaven or a hell Stop believing in me To believe is to assume, to imagine I don't want you to believe in me I want you to feel me within you When you kiss your beloved, when you tuck your little girl in When you pet your dog, when you swim in the sea Stop praising me! What kind of egotistical God do you think I am? Do you feel grateful? Show it by taking care of yourself, of your health Of your relationships, of the world Express your joy! That's the way to praise me Stop complicating things And parroting what you've been taught about me Don't look for me outside! You won't find me! Look for me inside That's where I am Inside you Look for me inside That's where I am Inside you
