"Healing may be called," Jung says
"A religious problem
In the sphere of social or national relations
The state of suffering may be civil war
And this state is to be cured by the Christian virtue
Of forgiveness and love of one's enemies
That which we recommend
With the conviction of good Christians
Is applicable to external situations
We must also apply inwardly in the treatment of neurosis
This is why modern man has heard enough about guilt and sin
He is solely beset by his own bad conscience
And wants rather to know
[Chorus]
How he is to reconcile himself with his own nature
How he is to love the enemy in his own heart
And call the wolf his brother
To reconcile himself with his own nature
How he is to love the enemy in his own heart
And call the wolf his brother

We cannot change anything, unless we accept it
We cannot change anything, unless we accept it
Unless we accept it
Unless we accept it
We cannot change anything, unless we accept it
Condemnation does not liberate
It oppresses and I am the oppressor of the person I condemn
Not his friend and fellow sufferer
Fellow sufferer
I do not in the least need to say that we must never pass judgment
When we desire to help and improve
But if the doctor wishes to help a human being
He must be able to accept him as he is
And he can do this in reality
Only when he has already seen
And accepted himself as he is
As he is
Perhaps this sounds very simple
But simple things are always the most difficult
In actual life
We cannot change anything, unless we accept it
Unless we accept it
