Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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?
[Verse 2]
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 never gonna know you"
I said, "Thank you, but I ain't never gonna know you"
[Verse 3]
Ah-ah-ah, oh-oh
Ah-ah-ah, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, ah-ah
Oh-oh-oh, ah-ah
La, da, da, da, da, da-da-da-da
La, da, ay, ay, da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da
[Verse 4]
No potential has limit
With ultimate forgiveness
You can try it on, try it out for a size
I lost touch with myself, with my woman, my health
My God, and my perception too
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
Ah-da-da, oh-oh
Ah-ah-ah, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, ah-ah
Oh-oh-oh, ah-ah
La, da, da, da, da, da-da-da-da
La, da, ay, ay, da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da
[Verse 7]
Destiny, I can't control
That's cool, I work better alone
Give me space, give me some good air to breathe
I suppose that's what we all want
Our own slice to go off on
And believe whatever the fuck you wanna believe
[Verse 8]
Well, I will never know all of the answers
Although I'd never wanna 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
[Verse 9]
Ah-ah-ah, oh-oh
Ah-ah-ah, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, ah-ah
Oh-oh-oh, ah-ah
La, da, da, da, da, da-da-da-da
La, da, ay, ay, da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da
[Verse 10]
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
[Verse 11]
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
Bein' human can be great
No matter what is on your plate, be grateful
[Verse 12]
And I am ready for the war
Maybe it's comin', it's not for sure
But it has come before, so maybe
[Verse 13]
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, out
Try it out, out
[Verse 14]
Ooh-ooh-ooh, da-da
Ooh-ooh-ooh, da-da
Da, da, da, da, da, ba-da-da-da-da
La, da, da, da, da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da
