letra de myth lets you know where you are - akira the don

well, the ego can’t reflect upon itself
unless it has a mirror against which to read itself
and that mirror would be the mythological schedule
that lets it know, where it is
it’s a mirror with a schedule on
patterned mirror
and the ego sees itself in that reflex
and knows where it is
on the scoreboard
just, for example
a person who, at the age of 40, is wondering
whether he’s gonna be punished by mother
hasn’t moved on
and thе person at the age of 80
who’s wondеring, “how’s my golf score”
he hasn’t moved on either
myth lets ya know where ya are
and it knows
what the patterns have been of life
through centuries
in that position that you now are entering
or holding

[chorus]
myth lets you know where you are
(myth lets you know where ya are)
you know where you are
you know where you are, are, are, are
myth lets you know where you are
(myth lets ya know where ya are)
you know where you are
you know where you are, are, are, are
the 40-year-old now should see himself
as a free, willing, independent
self-responsible human being
and he should have certain n0ble heart powers
that have been called to his attention
and then to which he has been invited
to give himself
that will enable him to act
in terms of n0bility
not in obedience, you know
but out of himself
and uh, the older person must know
“i’m now, now partic-p-ting
in the achievement of life
i have achieved it
and i’m looking back”
and i can tell you there’s a wonderful moment that comes
when you realize i’m not striving for anything
and what i’m doing now
is not a means to achieving something later
youth has always to think that way
every decision a young person makes
is a commitment to a life course
and if you make a bad decision of that angle
by the time you get out there
you’re far off course
but after a certain age
there’s no future
and suddenly, the present becomes rich
it becomes that thing in itself
that you’re now experiencing
and if you’ve been prepared a little bit for that
you’re ready
[chorus]
myth lets you know where you are
(myth lets you know where ya are)
you know where you are
you know where you are, are, are, are
myth lets you know where you are
(myth lets ya know where ya are)
you know where you are
you know where you are, are, are, are

i’ve had the experience of lecturing
to old-age groups, you know
and myself actually in old age
i’ll be 79 next month
i can tell you there came a gradual realization
“boy this is it, i’m in that place
and every experience is of value
in and for itself
without any reference
to anything that might happen”
i’ve mentioned this to older groups
and people come up to me afterward and say
“we didn’t realize”
“it’s beautiful”

[chorus]
myth lets you know where you are
(myth lets you know where ya are)
you know where you are
you know where you are, are, are, are
myth lets you know where you are
(myth lets ya know where ya are)
you know where you are
you know where you are, are, are, are
[chorus]
myth lets you know where you are
(myth lets you know where ya are)
you know where you are
you know where you are, are, are, are
myth lets you know where you are
(myth lets ya know where ya are)
you know where you are
you know where you are, are, are, are
