Were 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 rivers 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, well never see again So we store it up as memories and dont let go of them Were under a spell thinking that 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 its the rivers nature to twist and turn That 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, Im all I look outward to see. The universe is not something separate from yourself I know you feel alone, but thats why Im 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 were seeking the light The world is divided between peasants and kings But the truth is everybodys is looking for the same thing Now I want you to know The role you play is part of the whole Without you it couldnt be, and I mean that with compassion So if you ever need anything, I mean anything at all Im here for you; all you gotta do is ask man Im here for you, in the same way that youre here for me Each person is an intricate piece of infinity I feel that if you could see what I see Then we as humanity could be free Im here for you, not for any self centered reasons But because existence is interdependent and all is related, Connected as different manifestations of one single mind You aint 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 you wash away the rainy skies Im running out of words, but I havent yet made my message clear So if none of this makes sense, I just want you to know Im here As a musician, as a friend, as a teacher, as a student To grow and realize that everythings in constant movement Each problem that we face is just a part of this movement It seems helpless, but if we stick together well get through it And return to the essence from which weve 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 rivers ride aint 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 were seeking 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 couldnt be, and I mean that with compassion So if you ever need anything, I mean anything at all Im here for you; all you gotta do is ask man Im here for you; all you gotta do is ask man Im here for you; all you gotta do is ask man
