It's All Up to You
I've studied yoga for more than a decade, and Buddhism for the past 5 years, through which I've learned that it's up to us to change our mind. An easy enough direction but something that has taken this artist a lot of time to learn! I had the words and basic chords to this song when I took a second trip to Mysore, India, for another stint of practice changing my mind at the source of Ashtanga yoga. While there, I formed a little band with a couple of other yoga students, including Lasse who was in India from Finland. During a few roof-top practice sessions, he helped me develop the chord structure and voila! By the end of the trip we were performing it and I came back to the states to teach the band here.
There’s no war
If you don’t want there to be
Behind yoru eyes it’s clear to see
It’s all in your mind
It’s all in your mind
There’s no trouble
If you don’t want there to be
You choose what to keep in your pockets
It’s all in up to you
It’s all up to you
There’s no drama
Unless you hold on
No story, no cheating, no lies
Take what you want
Leave what you want
It’s all up to you
It’s all up to you
