Gratitude Lyrics
LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT THE HEARTS OF MY PEOPLE LET ME TELL YOU OF THE MEANING OF OUR TRIBE A DREAM UNSPOKEN, A PROMISED KEPT THE SECRET COMES ALIVE
FOR ALL THE YEARS I'VE WATCHED YOUR BACK AND YOU'VE WATCHED MINE WE ALWAYS KNEW THE CLOUDS WOULD PART AND A GOLDEN DAWN WILL SHINE
AND WHEN YOU FIND YOURSELF APON THE UNTRODDEN PATH REMEMBER ME WITH A SMILE, A DRINK, A GESTURE OR A LAUGH GRATITUDE
YOU LOOK AT ME BUT I'VE BEEN LOOKING AT YOU WE ONLY WERE A MIRROR TO SHOW WHAT YOU COULD DO O INNOVATOR, O ENLIGHTENED SCHOLAR PLAY AND WRITE REWRITE THE OLD BOOKS, RENAISSANCE PERFORM NEW RITES OF LIGHT
THE WISE WILL REDEFINE PARADISE THE FARMER AND THE VISIONARY, A VILLAGE - SIMPLE LIVES ADAPTING TO STRANGE SEASONS IN CERTAIN REMOTE REGIONS WHERE NO-ONE HAS EXEMPTION FROM TOTAL REDEMPTION
AND WHEN YOU FIND YOURSELF APON THE UNTRODDEN PATH REMEMBER ME WITH A SMILE, A DRINK, A GESTURE OR A LAUGH AND A TOAST FOR THE MAN WHO LOVES EVERY HOUR OF EVERY DAY AND A FEAST FOR THE FRIENDS AND FACES MET ALONG THE WAY GRATITUDE
It sounds like last ever song of KJ. It even sounds like Jaz prepares to die. Of course, I hope they will release more albums, but it's obvious you can hear some optimistic goodbye here.
Such an amazing song.. the music is so somber and heavy, with such an emotional chorus, especially when the last bit bears down on you: "a toast for the man who.." This is definitely a bittersweet goodbye song, either to his friends and family or even the fans. I think Jaz must see his fans as equals and it's a beautiful thing.
This is the sort of feeling that one would hope anyone would be able to feel during their final hours, while in the company of others. Unfortunately it is not always so.
I hope this is the last song they ever play live :)
