Chorus: The Orient Mystic, The Orient Mystic, The Orient Mystic, The Orient Mystic…

In the ancient times
The Orient Mystic
His thinking was subtle
He perceives and knows
Yet he is so deep and mysterious
That he is known by none
Since no one knows him
Hence I paint a picture of him:

Chorus: The Orient Mystic, The Orient Mystic, The Orient Mystic, The Orient Mystic

He walks with caution, as if crossing a frozen river
He is on guard checking all four directions, as if in danger at all times
His countenance is solemn and reverent, like an honored guest, (for example, a president)
His demeanor is natural and relaxing, like wind melting ice
Sincere and simple, humble and kind, like an old mountain wood
His heart is open, empty and all-embracing, like a valley giving birth
His appearance is obscure, like muddy water, (not Harry Potter)
Who can make dirty water clear and clean?
Who turns serenity into motion and creation?
The one who takes heed of this logic will heal the nations
His cup is never full
Because he is not stubborn and self centered
He is simple and not boastful
Therefore he accomplishes everything
Therefore he accomplishes everything

Chorus: The Orient Mystic, The Orient Mystic, The Orient Mystic, The Orient Mystic

道德经第15章改编 现代版歌词

古时真人
为思微妙  事理玄通
深奥不显  诸人不知
有谁知晓
作画陈明
步伐慎重  如过冰河
警惕四方  如在危中
仪容庄严  如同贵宾
形气松弛  如风融冰
敦诚朴实  如古山木
空心辽阔  如起谷云
淡浑交接  如混诸水
谁能将浊  变为平清?
谁可使静  动而化生?
守其理者
不满其杯
因不执著
简朴可蔽  成事无形

道德经原文

古之善为道者
微妙玄通
深不可识
夫唯不可识
故强为之容
豫兮若冬涉川
犹兮若畏四邻
俨兮其若客
焕兮其若凌释
敦兮其若朴
旷兮其若谷
混兮其若浊
孰能浊以静之徐清?
孰能安以动之徐生?
保此道者
不欲盈
夫唯不盈
故能蔽而不成
