The Big Picture |
|
The picture is far too big to look at kid. Your eyes won't open wide enough |
|
and you are constantly surrounded by that swirling stream of what is and what was. |
|
Well, we've all made our predictions but the truth still isn't out. |
|
So if you want to see the future, go stare into a cloud. |
|
And keep trying to find your way out of that maze of memories. |
|
It all sort of looks familiar, but then you get up close and it's different. clearly. |
|
Each time you turn a corner, you are right back to where you were |
|
and your only hope is that forgetting might make a door appear. |
|
Is it your fear of being buried that makes you so afraid to speak? |
|
An avalanche of opinions like the one that feel that I am now underneath. |
|
It was my voice that moved the first rock and I would do it all again. |
|
So, I mean, it's cool if you keep quiet, but I like singing. |
|
So I'll be holding my note and stomping and strumming and feeling so very lucky. |
|
There is nothing I know except that this lifetime is just one moment |
|
and wishing will just leave me empty. So you can try and live in darkness |
|
but you will never shake the light. It will greet you every morning |
|
and make you more aware with its absence at night, |
|
when you are wrapped up in your blanket baby, that comfortable cocoon. |
|
But I have seen the day of your awakening boy and it's coming soon. |
|
So go ahead and loose yourself in liquor and you can praise the clouded mind |
|
but it isn't what you are thinking it's the course of history, your position in line. |
|
You are just a piece of the puzzle so I think you had better find your place. |
|
And don't go blaming your knowledge on some fruit you ate. |
|
Because there has been a great deal of discussion, yes, about the properties of man. |
|
Animal or angel? You were carved from bone, but your heart it's just sand. |
|
And the wind is going to scatter it and cover everything with love. |
|
So if it makes you happy, keep kneeling Mama, but I am standing up. |
|
Because this veil, it has been lifted. My eyes are wet with clarity. |
|
I have been a witness of such wonders. Oh, I have searched for them all across this country |
|
but I think I'll be returning now to the town where I was born. |
|
And I understand you must keep moving friend, but I am heading home. |
|
I'm gonna follow the road and let the scenery sweeping by easily enter my body. |
|
I'll send you all this message in code, under ground, over mountains, |
|
through forests, deserts and cities. |
|
All across the electric wire, it's a baited line. The hook is in deep boys, |
|
there is no more time. So you can struggle in the water and be too stubborn to die, |
|
or you could just let go and be lifted to the sky. |
