[Verse 1: Stu Mackenzie]
Woo!
Yeah, yeah, yeah
And to my loved ones, who navigate the current of life
And who, occasionally or regularly, feel rudderless in the river:

[Verse 2: Joey Walker]
In this long night, there is no end
Deep dominion
Father be my friend
I stand on the shoulders of mothers long dead
Singing their stories
[Verse 3: Stu Mackenzie]
Life is but an eddy
So be a leaf in a stream
Eternally we return to cycle through the song we learnt

[Verse 4: Ambrose Kenny-Smith]
I would say, “Don’t be a musician, my son
Be a doctor, lawyer, or a stand-up citizen
People on the street would stop and ask me if I’m proud
But I’m not proud
You did it yourself; I wasn’t around”

[Verse 5: Joey Walker]
But time is pregnant with the past
With the knowledge that they lost
Time is eating its last meal
If they listened, could they heal?

[Verse 6: Stu Mackenzie]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
And though I cannot hold you, you will know my presence by virtue of the wind
You know your daddy never knew what he was doing
It’s all love
I love you

[Verse 7: Ambrose Kenny-Smith]
I am wind
I am rain
I am photon
I am wave
I am wind
I am rain
I am photon
I am wave
I am love
Trauma pain
Reincarnate hurricane
I have sinned
Fanned the flames
Knocking on the pearly gates
