Eyedea - Here For You Lyrics

* send corrections to the typist



Were all born into this river without knowing how to swim

And eventually we learn how to keep this water under our chin

Some times this river is so cold to be in

Freezing my soul, solidifying my skin

Regardless of how far I see, I never see my travels in

Were carried by the current, being driven by the wind

The scenery we pass, we'll never see again

So we store it up as memories and don't let go of them

Were under a spell thinking the river should go straight

He said, "(holds?) and desire to control our own fate"

But all the pain we experience as a result of our expectations

Because it's the rivers nature to twist and turn

The shit can burn

And I know it

I have the same conflict

But I try to sit and flow with this rivers natural process

And sometimes when I watch myself float downstream

I see the beauty of it all, and it feels like a dream

And at that time I appreciate the rivers course

Some part of God, reality, momentum, force

I stare up at the naked moon, and she stares down at me

(I'll cite false boundaries and all my powers to see)?

The universe is not something separate from yourself

I know you feel alone, but that's why I'm here to help

I know you feel alone, but just look up at the stars

And everything that is out there is what you really are



We gotta learn to see the beauty in each moment of life

Everyone has different pasts and we're seeking the light

The world is divided between peasants and kings

But the truth is everyone is looking for the same thing

Now I want you to know

The role you play is part of the whole

Without you it couldn't be, and I mean that with compassion

So if you need anything, I mean anything at all

I'm here for you; all you gotta do is ask man

I'm here for you, in the same way that you're here for me

Each person in an intricate piece of infinite

I feel that if you could see what I see

Then we as humanity could be free

I'm here for you, not for any self centered reasons

Because existence is interdependent and all related,

Connected in its different manifestations of one single mind

You ain't isolated from the world even though it feels like that sometimes



I see the hurt when I look into your eyes

How you struggle to hold it and keep in bundled inside

It drives a dull blade deep in my heart; it makes me want to cry

So I offer you a hand to help wash away the rainy skies

I'm running out of words, but I haven't yet made my message clear

So if none of this makes sense, I just want you to know I'm here

As a musician, as a friend, as a teacher, as a student

To grow and realize everything is in constant movement

Each problem that we face is just a part of this movement

It seems helpless, but if we stick together we'll get through it

And return to the essence from which we've been uprooted

And wake humanity from these illusions

The second you can look into the sky and see your own reflection

You know your head is in the right direction

The river riding always moves, but with it I live

And everything is perfect, just the way it is



We gotta learn to see the beauty in each moment of life

Everyone has different pasts and we're seeking the light

The world is divided between peasants and kings

But the truth is everyone is looking for the same thing

Now I want you to know

The role you play is part of the whole

Without you it couldn't be, and I mean that with compassion

So if you need anything, I mean anything at all

I'm here for you; all you gotta do is ask man

I'm here for you; all you gotta do is ask man

I'm here for you; all you gotta do is ask man
