As years are passing by Silence becomes your friend You see the world in a different way Don't be afraid of getting old Life's still full of joy And the beauty of the past is rejoicing your mind When days are getting short And winter comes along Your life slows down and down Like a river is getting wide The worlds have lost their voice You remember your morning flowing to the endless sea When days are getting short And winter comes along Your life slows down and down Like a river is getting wide The worlds have lost their voice You remember your morning flowing to the endless sea Life's like a river in the mountain Life's like a sea without end Life's like a river in the mountain Life's like a sea without end Life's like a river in the mountain Life's like a sea without end Life's like a river in the mountain Life's like a sea without end

Dear mother the struggle is over now And your house is up for sale We divided your railway watches Between the four of us I fought over the pearls With the other girls But it was all a metaphor For what was wrong with us As the room is emptying out Your face so young comes into view And on the back porch is a well-worn step And a pool of light you can walk into I'll wait no more for you like a daughter, That part of our life together is over But I will wait for you, forever Like a river... Can you clear up the mystery of the Sphinx? Do you know any more about God? Are you dancing with Benjamin Franklin On the face of the moon? Have you reconciled with Dad? Does the rain still make you sad? Last night I swear I could feel you Moving through my room And I thought you touched my feet I so wanted it to be true In my theater there is a stage And a footlight you can step into... I'll wait no more for you like a daughter, That part of our life together is over But I will wait for you, forever Like a river... In the river I know I will find the key And your voice will rise like the spray In the moment of knowing The tide will wash away my doubt 'Cause you're already home Making it nice for when I come home Like the way I find my bed turned down Coming in from a late night out. Please keep reminding me Of what in my soul I know is true Come in my boat, there's a seat beside me And two or three stars we can gaze into... I'll wait no more for you like a daughter, That part of our life together is over But I will wait for you forever Like a river... I'll never leave, always just a dream away A star that's always watching Never turn away We'll never leave, always just a thought away A candle always burning Never turn away The moon will hide, the tree will bend I'm right beside you I'll never turn away

I'm the same as I was when I was 6 years old And oh, my God, I feel so old I don't really feel anything On a plane, I can see the tiny lights below And oh, my God, they look so alone Now, do they really feel anything? Oh, my God, I gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta move on Where do you move when what you're moving from Is yourself? The universe works on a math equation That never, ever, ever really ends Infinity spirals out creation on the tip of its tongue And it is saying "We ain't sure where you stand You ain't machines, and you ain't land" And the plants and the animals, they are linked The plants and the animals eat each other I'm the same as I was when I was 6 years old And oh, my God, I feel so old I don't really feel anything On a plane, I can see the tiny lights below And oh, my God, they look so alone Now, do they really feel anything? Oh, my God, I gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta move on Where do you move when what you're moving from Is yourself? The universe works on a math equation That never, ever, ever really ends Infinity spirals out creation on the tip of its tongue And it is saying "We ain't sure where you stand You ain't machines, and you ain't land" The plants and the animals, they are linked The plants and the animals eat each other Well, oh, my God, and oh, my cat I told my Dad what I need Well, I know what I have and want But I don't know what I need "Well," he said, he said, he said, he said "Where we're going, I'm dead"

I woke up and I said to my love, "Good morning" I looked at the phone, there was a message about the Johnny Tapia movie Then I went to my bank and I transferred money to cover my taxes I'm still thinking of the documentary we watched last night, "The Road to Las Vegas" We replayed the Floyd "Money" Mayweather / Oscar de la Hoya fight It's a line from "The Road to Las Vegas" and it played over and over all night What does 'rekindle' mean? What does 'rekindle' mean? I met a 19-year-old girl in (???) who says she's passionate about social injustices and femininity She asked me what I cared about I said my family, my friends, and my dentist who just had an aneurysm And I love making music, making people laugh, and making sure that my band gets paid And on the very bright side I think I love gulf coast oysters and crawfish and springtime in New Orleans Every day I walk and I see men and women walking together in harmony Every day I walk, I see people walking together in harmony At the Mayweather/Pacquiao fight, I saw men and women enjoying together in harmony And on my flight home, I saw men and women sitting together in harmony But the film "Road to Las Vegas", there was a broken harmony When Johnny Tapia lived la vida loca life, there was a broken harmony What does 'rekindle' mean? What does 'rekindle' mean? What does 'rekindle' mean? What does 'rekindle' mean? Today someone cussed at me for wanting a rare copy vinyl If you're gonna reach out, please be original and ask me something that makes me smile It's fantastic that you're passionate about cardboard and like listening to music on molded color plastic You're a collector of rare vinyl, a total fanatic, that's completely absolutely hip, motherfucking fantastic But I'm more concerned with how I feel What does 'rekindle' mean? What does 'rekindle' mean? What does 'rekindle' mean? That line in my head, it just keeps going in a ring What does 'rekindle' mean? What does 'rekindle' mean? Remember the cockiness and the brashness and the elusiveness of the Prince Naseem Its cat-like instincts and that thunderous scale pump struck light lightning Its (???) couldn't be touched, like it was weighing my car One Halloween, one Marco Antonio Barrera torn to pieces by the strange currents that intervened The Prince derailed like nothing anyone had ever expected to see I swear to god he could have been the next lightweight southpaw, the Yemeni version of Mohammed Ali But that's the Prince now What does 'rekindle' mean? What does 'rekindle' mean? And I'm flying to New Orleans When I wake up in the morning I'm gonna walk to the bank of the Mississippi River Look at the bridge that crosses over the city of Algiers I'm gonna eat a candy apple with my bro I haven't been there for over a year since (???) But when I get down to the city of New Orleans I know there's gonna be lightning stormin' And water gushing down through the street And the sun's gonna come out and shine Down on the (???) I'm gonna walk down to (???) And I know we're gonna see men, women, fiddles, guitars in harmony Gonna see men, women, and children visit together in harmony
