Lyrics

What shall live?
 What shall die?
 What gave birth?
 What gave life?
 What is yours, what is mine, what is ours?
 Are these questions so senseless?
 Well, who's gonna answer them
 At the time when I really need to know?
 So, let it carry you like the ocean
 When you first learned how to float
 So, I went to Papa's grave and I
 Burned him some sage
 I said, "Thank you, but I ain't ever gonna know ya."
 I said, "Thank you, but I ain't ever gonna know ya."
 Ah ah ah oww oww ah ah ah oww oww
 Oh oh oh ha ah oh oh oh ha ah
 La da da da da da da daduh
 La da hey hey la da da da da
 La da da da...
 No potential has limit with
 Ultimate forgiveness
 You can try it on, try it out for size.
 I lost touch with myself, with my woman, my health, my God, and my perception, too.
 Well, I will always be a part of that darkness, although I'd say it's pretty equal to my light
 I'm pretty far from knowin' anything,
 But I do know a couple things:
 What I want and how I'm gonna get it
 What I want and how I'm gonna get it
 (That's fuckin' right!)
 Ah ah ah oww oww ah ah ah oww oww
 Oh oh oh ha ah oh oh oh ha ah
 La da da da da da da daduh
 La da hey hey la da da da da
 La da da da...
 Destiny, you can't control;
 That's cool!
 I work better alone.
 Gimme some space, gimme some good air to breathe.
 I s'pose that's what we all want,
 Our own slice to go off on
 And believe.
 Whatever the fuck you wanna believe
 Well, I will never know all of the answers; although I'd never want to know, anyway. 'Cause I remember when Grandma died, she had no tears in her eyes; She was laughin' and raisin' hell
 Yeah, she was laughin' and raisin' hell
 (Fuck yeah she was!)
 Ah ah ah oww oww ah ah ah oww oww
 Oh oh oh ha ah oh oh oh ha ah
 La da da da da da da daduh
 La da hey hey la da da da da
 La da da da... (hey!)
 (Pay attention...)
 There's a river in the wind,
 I've floated it before
 There's a sliver in your grin,
 I know who it is for
 And there is magic in the skin of the woman I adore
 Know each other to the core-
 So thankful
 And there are four tides in a sea,
 There are cosmic copies
 They are built like you and me-
 So crazy
 Don't be afraid to make mistakes
 Being human can be great
 No matter what is on your plate-
 Be grateful
 And I am ready for the war
 Maybe it's comin'
 It's not for sure
 But it has come before
 So maybe...
 We can end all this pursuit
 Find contentment in the truth
 Find out what's gonna work for you
 And try it out... out... out
 Ah oh Ah oh
 Try it out...
 Ah oh Ah oh
 Ooh ooh oooh da da Ooh ooh oooh da da
 Da duh da duh da buh ba ba ba da
 Da duh da duh do da do do do do
 Da da da da da...
