| 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 the 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
|
| We’re 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
|
| Were 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 false 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 pasts and we’re seeking the light
|
| The world is divided between peasants and kings
|
| But the truth is everyone is 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, in the same way that you’re here for me
|
| Each person in an intricate piece of infinity
|
| I feel that 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 in its 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 in 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 head is in the right direction
|
| The river riding always moves, 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 pasts and we’re seeking the light
|
| The world is divided between peasants and kings
|
| But the truth is everyone is 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 you gotta do is ask man
