Once,
a certain stone egg
was acted upon
by the elemental forces of nature
at the top of a mountain,
and from this egg sprang
a stone monkey.
The great sage knows all the magicks.
Yes, I am here, and everywhere.
As he donned the armor of the sea-king,
he found it fit quite nicely.
Please don't tell me I'm not see through,
Please don't tell me I'm not simple,
Please don't tell me I'm not see through,
Please don't tell me I'm not see through,
Please don't tell me, Please don't tell me,
Please don't tell me I'm not see through,
Please don't tell me, Please don't tell me,
Please don't tell me I'm not see through,
Please don't tell me I'm not see through,
Please don't tell me I'm not see through,
I should be the king of heaven.
(In the words of the Buddha,
you must conquer yourself, then win a thousand battles.
Only then will you have that which cannot be taken away from you.)
