jim helms - a children's game - divine strength lyrics

[keye luke as master po, david carradine as kwai chang caine]

[instrumental]

(the scissors cut the paper. the paper covers the rock. the rock crushes the scissors.)
(is not playing a child’s game a waste of time?)
(in games children teach + sometimes more than books. come, instruct an old man, and yourself.)
(rock crushes scissors.)
(look beyond the game, as you look beneath the surface of the pool to see its depths.)
(each in turn conquers the other
there is no stronger or weaker.)
(this is the harmony of nature, and not a waste of time.)
(i will treasure this lesson, master.)
(i have three treasures which i hold and keep. the first is mercy. for from mercy comes courage. the second is frugality from which comes generosity to others. the third is humility, for from it comes leadership.)
(strange treasures. how shall i hold them and keep them? in memory?)
(no, grasshopper, not in memory, but in your deeds.)
[instrumental]

[philip ahn as master kan, david carradine as kwai chang caine]

[instrumental]

(master, i am troubled. we learn to make powerful the force of our bodies, yet we are taught to reverence all against whom we may use such force.)
(when your life is threatened, or the innocent life of another, you will be prepared to defend them.)
(being thus prepared better than others, should i not always stand and fight?)
(ignore the insulting tongue. duck the provoking blow. run from the assault of the strong.)
(are these not the actions of a coward?)
(the wild boar runs from the tiger knowing that each, being well armed by nature with deadly strength, may k!ll the other. running, he saves his own life and that of the tiger. this is not cowardice, it is the love of life.)

[instrumental]
