The wisdom of a five year old;
"When he thinks about one thing
Boy, he thinks about one thing"
It's like his heart could just explode
I miss that yearning
I miss that burning too
The wisdom of twenty-four;
"When he thinks about one thing
He thinks about her"
Now he's not so self-assured
Brother, I know that worldview
I've seen that girl too
I remember the stars growing up in Georgia
They don't shine as bright tonight in California
I've walked a thousand miles
And I've met a thousand people in this life
This holy life
And the only thing I'll ever know;
Is life is bigger than we are
And it's mending and breaking and it's radiating
We are one beating heart
We are one, we are one
We are one beating heart
The wisdom of my old man, the carpenter;
"When he thinks about one thing
He thinks about all things"
Time and symmetry and form
I'll build my own house
On my father's old house
A thousand voices in this time
Some are yours, and some are mine
Won't you wade with me through the water
I hear my grandfather,
I hear my grand-daughter
I remember the stars growing up in Georgia
They don't shine as bright tonight in California
I've walked a thousand miles
And I've met a thousand people in this life
This holy life
And the only thing I'll ever know;
Is life is bigger than we are
And it's mending and breaking and it's radiating
We are one beating heart
We are one, we are one
We are one beating heart
The wisdom of a falling star;
"We're all just stage hands
In some play act
We could never understand"
But I've seen the sunset
And I have no regrets
And the only thing I'll ever know;
Is life is bigger than we are
And it's mending and breaking and it's radiating
We are one beating heart
We are one, we are one
We are one beating heart
Hallelujah
God damn
Hallelujah
I am just a passenger
