INTRO
|
There is a way out of this mess and shit, you just can't think your way out of it. Thought is your enemy.
|
|
I know I know, I got to think less. I had that thought actually.
|
|
You have to let go. Let go.
|
|
Let go of what?
|
|
Let go of you. I mean, think about it, what have you done for you lately?
|
|
I'm having trouble following your philosophy.
|
|
You have to jump in.
|
|
Jump in by those scopes?
|
|
No, in the water.
|
|
In the River?
|
|
Yes, Jump in the River, Jump in the River...
|
|
|
We're all born into this river without knowing how to swim
|
And eventually we learn how to keep this water under our chins
|
Some times this river is so cold to be in
|
Freezing my soul, solidifying my skin
|
Regardless of how far I see, I never see my travels end
|
Were carried by the current, being driven by the wind
|
The scenery we pass, we'll never see again
|
So we store it up as memories and don't let go of them
|
We're under a spell thinking the river should go straight
|
We set goals and desires to control our own fate
|
But all the pain we experience is a result of our expectations
|
Because it's the rivers nature to twist and turn
|
The shit can burn
|
And I know it
|
I have the same conflict
|
But I try to sit and flow with this rivers natural process
|
And sometimes when I watch myself float downstream
|
I see the beauty of it all, and it feels like a dream
|
And at that time I appreciate the rivers course
|
Some call it God, reality, momentum, force
|
I stare up at the naked moon, and she stares down at me
|
Outside thoughts boundaries I'm all I look outward to see
|
The universe is not something separate from yourself
|
I know you feel alone, but that's why I'm here to help
|
I know you feel alone, but just look up at the stars
|
And everything that is out there is what you really are
|
|
We gotta learn to see the beauty in each moment of life
|
Everyone has different paths and we're seeing the light
|
The world is divided between peasants and kings
|
But the truth is everybodys looking for the same thing
|
Now I want you to know
|
The role you play is part of the whole
|
Without you it couldn't be, and I mean that with compassion
|
So if you ever need anything, I mean anything at all
|
I'm here for you; all you gotta do is ask man
|
I'm here for you, in the same way that you're here for me
|
Each person in an intricate piece of infinite
|
I feel like if you could see what I see
|
Then we as humanity could be free
|
I'm here for you, not for any self centered reasons
|
Because existence is interdependent and all's related,
|
Connected as different manifestations of one single mind
|
You ain't isolated from the world even though it feels like that sometimes
|
|
I see the hurt when I look into your eyes
|
How you struggle to hold it and keep it bundled inside
|
It drives a dull blade deep in my heart; it makes me want to cry
|
So I offer you a hand to help wash away the rainy skies
|
I'm running out of words, but I haven't yet made my message clear
|
So if none of this makes sense, I just want you to know I'm here
|
As a musician, as a friend, as a teacher, as a student
|
To grow and realize that everything's in constant movement
|
Each problem that we face is just a part of this movement
|
It seems helpless, but if we stick together we'll get through it
|
And return to the essence from which we've been uprooted
|
And wake humanity from these illusions
|
The second you can look into the sky and see your own reflection
|
You know your headed in the right direction
|
The river ride ain't always smooth, but with it I live
|
And everything is perfect, just the way it is
|
|
We gotta learn to see the beauty in each moment of life
|
Everyone has different paths and we're seeing the light
|
The world is divided between peasants and kings
|
But the truth is everybodys looking for the same thing
|
Now I want you to know
|
The role you play is part of the whole
|
Without you it couldn't be, and I mean that with compassion
|
So if you need anything, I mean anything at all
|
I'm here for you; all you gotta do is ask man
|
I'm here for you; all you gotta do is ask man
|
I'm here for you; all y |
