Twist Lyrics
Everybody going to paddle out together,
any kind of weather
because everybody's ok
Everybody going to kick back together,
Speak about each other
because everybody's ok
Some people going to twist up together,
Help to feel better
because everybody's ok
CHORUS:
from looking far and wide I can see we're ok
When there's people all around,
just searching for some shade
and a little bit of food just to see the next day
because the fields have dried up and the money never came
Can you sing to your creator, give tobacco to a tree
Or some flowers to your mother,
cause she gave you what you need
Everybody can you lay back together, stargaze together,
because everybody's ok
You know your children going to help you feel better,
If your close to each other
because everybody's ok
CHORUS
Everybody can you sway to the music,
let the spirit choose you,
because everybody's feeling ok
So everybody can you sway to the music,
let the spirit choose you
because everybody's feeling ok
any kind of weather
because everybody's ok
Everybody going to kick back together,
Speak about each other
because everybody's ok
Some people going to twist up together,
Help to feel better
because everybody's ok
from looking far and wide I can see we're ok
When there's people all around,
just searching for some shade
and a little bit of food just to see the next day
because the fields have dried up and the money never came
Can you sing to your creator, give tobacco to a tree
Or some flowers to your mother,
cause she gave you what you need
because everybody's ok
You know your children going to help you feel better,
If your close to each other
because everybody's ok
let the spirit choose you,
because everybody's feeling ok
So everybody can you sway to the music,
let the spirit choose you
because everybody's feeling ok

I am very surprised that nobody has commented about this song yet. I personally think this is Xavier Rudd’s most important song. When I first heard this song I thought it was just a feel good song but I think it has more meaning than that now. When he says "because everybody's ok" to me it means that do not worry about other peoples differences just be good to them. The lines about people looking for food and shade to me mean other people have far worse problems then you will ever understand so forgive people. Last I love the line "Or some flowers to your mother, cause she gave you what you need" only because what you need is to be alive and you should give thanks to someone or something for that gift. Also I know other people have commented on other songs and said that he is much better in concert, and he is. When he is playing and singing he performs like every line has its own story behind it.

You are damn right about all of that.
You are damn right about all of that.
Racism is such a damned stupid and hypocritical thing be. To be racist is to discriminate against other people over differences. Discriminating against someone because they are different is just such a stupid thing to do. Would you rather us all be robots who look and think exactly the same?

So he's black? So she's white?
WHO GIVES A DAMN?
Also, to what you said about:
"Can you sing to your creator, give tobacco to a tree Or some flowers to your mother, cause she gave you what you need"
Yes. That's all we need. Life!
Not racism, not war. Not greed, not famine.
We need Life to Live, and lets be grateful for having it!
And yes, Xavier Rudd is absolutely amazing to see live.
One Love and Peace.
