So now come sit down
Will you talk with me now
And let me see through your eyes
Where there is so much light
We are biding our time
For these myths to unwind
For these changes we will confront
So please be aware with every
Place that you herald
And look to your soul
For these things that you know
For the trees that we see
Cannot forever breathe
With the changes they will confront
CHORUS:
You know some people they just won’t understand
No, they just won’t understand
These things
Thank you for your message but I don’t understand
No they just won’t understand
These things
And this sacred land
It has seen many hands
It has wealth and gold
Now it is fragile and old
And now the greedy souls just don’t care to know
Of the changes it will confront
So speak out loud
Of the things you are proud
And if you love this coast
Then keep it clean as it evolves
Because the way that it shines
May just dwindle with time
With the changes it will confront
CHORUS:
You know some people they just won’t understand
No, they just won’t understand
These things
Thank you for your message but I don’t understand
No they just won’t understand
These things
So hold nice and close
Once you get to your soul
So that when it is cold
You won’t feel so alone
‘Cause the roads that you take
May just crack and break
With the changes you will confront
With each gift that you share
You may heal and repair
With each choice you make
You may help someone’s day
Well I know you are strong
May your journey be long
And now I wish you the best of luck
Well I know you are strong
May your journey be long
And now I wish you the best of luck.
CHORUS:
You know some people they just won’t understand
No, they just won’t understand
These things
Thank you for your message but I don’t understand
No they just won’t understand
These things

LOVE that song. You have to record the man playing that thing one day.

One day? Heh. You *know* I’ve already got one or two.
