Not Enough

To be or to become... What was the question?

1.
B      Bb
You... can...
Eb
Spend your time in meditation
  Db
  Spend your time inside
       Eb
It can be a kind of education
  Db
  Or a place to hide
Eb
Spend your time in thinking, reading,
  Db
  Talking while alone
  Eb
Until you're through with all you are
      Db
  and everything you've known
    Eb
And when it's not enough
                Db
  then you will come out of your cave
    Eb
The first thing you will
  Db
  hear is how you're
    C                B
    going to have to shave

Bb
You can
Eb
Spend your time in social service
  Db
  Trying to do good
Eb
Some will say you just unnerve us
  Db
  Others say you should
           Eb
Spend your time in work and trouble
  Db
  Worry with your friends
  Eb
Until you're through with each idea
  Db
  Fraying at the ends
    Eb
And when it's not enough
                Db
  Then you'll retreat and contemplate
    Eb
The first thing you will
  Db
  hear is how you
    Eb     Db       Eb
    almost were too late.
