Just To Live
Antarma Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Recently,
Asking the source of life to speak to me.
The stream is free to download,
The sound rose,
The crown′s gold.
Calling on the ancient ones
To take us straight beyond the pettiness,
But mostly we're forgetting this.

The nemesis, a part of us that doesn′t respect the preciousness.
Like the fish who doesn't believe in water,
When really every breath is bliss.
Yes it is.
Yet the fruit is only ready when it's ripe within.

Like the king who got knocked out,
His royal memory dropped down.
He got robbed for his purse
And only could see what he has got now.
Sitting as a beggar,
Forgetting there′s anything better,
′Til someone came to remind him
Within him is the real treasure.

All that is happening is happening as it is
And there is no need to stress 'cos it′s a blessing just to live.

(It's just that) all that is happening is happening as it is
And there is no need to stress ′cos it's a blessing.

So what has become of us?
Covered in doubtful clouds, thunderous.
Blaming and complaining, naming strangers;
"He′s not one of us".
Yet within all of us,
Is a pure core that's wondrous.
It's a vast infinity,
Nothing′s above or under us.

Drawing the clear boundary,
Not getting sucked into what′s around me.
Realise, I is the sky,
Set the clouds free.
Who found me?
Give thanks for the lineage.
Compassion that's limitless,
It′s nourishing like spinach is.
The source is ever giving this.

Is it, all about the pennies and the pounds and the dollars?
What is sweet and simple, can be hard for a scholar.
Is there a lead on our collar?
If so, who is holding it?
Dive in the ocean
And can we find the pearl of self control in it?

'Cos all that is happening is happening as it is
And there is no need to stress ′cos it's a blessing just to live.

All that is happening is happening as it is
And there is no need to stress ′cos it's a blessing

Just to live
Just to live
Just to live

Just to live
Just to live
Just to live

Death,
For all of us the grave is waiting.
Every step on the pavement is taking us to the last one.
Do we focus on the world?
Or do we focus on the heart, Sun
The brightest, dark one,
Who is half here and half gone.
The place where all of the music and the chants and art's from.

While everything is changing,
There is something which is ever fixed.
Yet it is, totally beyond all grasping,
Beyond all answers and asking,
Just basking in the the ever living One

All the stars, jewels, moons and biggest Sun,
Cannot compare to
There is no where? who? no why? what? or how?
Just stillness vibrating as sound does
So easy to miss what is within
And all around us

All that is happening is happening as it is
And there is no need to stress ′cos it′s a blessing just to live.

(It's just that) all that is happening is happening as it is
And there is no need to stress ′cos it's a blessing (just to live)

All that is happening is happening as it is
And there is no need to stress ′cos it's a blessing just to live.

(It′s just that) all that is happening is happening as it is
And there is no need to stress 'cos it's a blessing,

Just to live
Just to live
Just to live

All that is happening is happening as it is
And there is no need to stress ′cos it′s a blessing just to live.

(It's just that) all that is happening is happening as it is
And there is no need to stress ′cos it's a blessing,

Just to live
