Permit Me To Introduce You To Yourself - Horace Silver Quintet

PERMIT ME TO INTRODUCE YOU' TO YOURSELF.

I believe you two have never really met.

If you take a little time to get acquainted,

You can settle all your differences, I bet.

The two of you are related, don’t you know?

Won’t you both shake hands and meet on common ground?

Won’t you make a slight attempt at understandin'

'Til a suitable arrangement can be found?

Now why are you always fightin' with yourself?

There are ways that you can use to bridge the gap.

If you take a little interest in a science*,

That will lead you down the road just like a map.

So why don’t you call a meetin' with yourself?

I believe you two would consequently find

There’s a meetin' place where you can get together.

And you’ll find it in the center of your mind.
