Diogenes travels, dispossessed
I need to know, brother
Odysseus, lost and dispossessed
Needs to know, father
Divorced from all meaning to hold it dear
We need you near, will you appear?
A loss of all purpose can lead to death
They need to know, sister
Without our bearings there’s nothing we can defy
Without a ground beneath our feet
The best of us won’t know why
And there’s a place that reaps the fruit of hopes that die
Under a Berlin Bridge
Where others float and our dear Nico lies
The strayed and lost travel dispossessed
To kill the void, Brother
The sold and fooled tremble, well bereft
And hide the shame, Father
To seek all the answers, unappeased
From the dawn of time they’ve seldom ceased
We’ve given up everything to know
I need to know, Sister
Without our bearings there’s nothing we can defy
Without a ground beneath our feet
The best of us won’t know why
And there’s a place that reaps the fruit of hopes that die
Under a Berlin Bridge
Where others float and our dear Nico lies
I can tell you all you see
Was first made from what you can’t
So futile is my search far beyond
Exploration far within
Moves beyond a place to hide
Where reverie and matter shimmer all
I can tell you what I see
When my eyes are closed and I Cast
Out a thousand dreams
And reel them in
Everything is answered there
All I need is waiting for me
Seas of growth and nourishment for all
Please make all my dreams
Come running back to me
Please make all I love
Come running back to me
