Intro: G D Em C
G
What shall live?
D
What shall die?
Em
What gave birth?
C
What gave life?
G D G
What is yours, what is mine, what is ours?
G D
Are these questions so senseless?
Em C
Well, who's gonna answer them
G D G
At the time when I really need to know?
G C
So, let it carry you like the ocean
G D
When you first learned how to float
G D
So, I went to Papa's grave and I
Em C
Burned him some sage
G D G
I said, "Thank you, but I ain't ever gonna know ya."
I said, "Thank you, but I ain't ever gonna know ya."
G D Em C
ah ah ah oww oww ah ah ah oww oww
oh oh oh ha ah oh oh oh ha ah

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...
