letra de the spark - the living wells

[verse 1: moshe friedman]
the disciple stammered into my establishment
sweating thick, panting quick, nervous glances, panic strick’
i asked him if he wouldn’t rather sit
he said he didn’t like to beat around the bush so he began with it:
said, “lately i’ve been feeling lifeless like a mannequin
can’t seem to find a way to be a man again
i’m searching for that spark to light me like a candle wick
i need a teacher, thought you’d be the right candidate.”
i closed my eyes until i found the words to answer him
not long ago i was in the same shoes you’re standing in
blue pill or red pill – didn’t know which hand to pick
eventually found the path, and then i ran with it
i’ll humbly try to guide you if i can handle it
the writing’s on the wall, and it’s not in sanskrit
so get a grip, this is not your average camping trip
find the strength and channel it, time to get the candle lit

[chorus: rick fox]
young disciple, i can’t live this life for you
the most that i can do is show you what one guy can do
in the dark, i light the spark to enlighten you
find a pupil of your own and ignite him too

[verse 2: moshe friedman]
once upon a time i heard someone say
the more you chase happiness the more it runs away
the secret is the effort brings the joy only seconds later
breaking sweat to climb the mountain beats riding that escalator
there’s no shortcuts or saving some time
realize the view is only as great as the climb
take a moment now to make up your mind
while i p-ss you some life lessons before we break up the line:
seek advice from someone greater than your equal
learn from your mistakes but learn more from other people’s
surprise is the enemy of emotion
preparation keeps you calm amidst commotion
appreciate the life vest, even if you sank the boat
when all else fails, grat-tude will make you float
be grateful that you always have a place to hang your coat
always call your mom, and always leave a thank you note
if you can’t take criticism you just won’t grow
never judge someone cause you just don’t know
and before you can love everyone like yourself
well, first you gotta like yourself, what can i say?
first lesson took it slow and steady
most of what i said you should know already
but knowledge in your head is just an obvious start
the real test is if you live it in your body and heart

[chorus]

[bridge: moshe friedman]
i’m just a messenger, not a prophet or a hero
not the sun, just the rain that helps the seeds grow
it’s not from my genomes, or my brain’s aminos
the spark is bigger than you and me and everybody we know
back through the ages, p-ssed through the sages
nearly extinguished but outlasted the threats
since farther back than the human calendar gets
to that original spark with a capital s
and alas i digress but at last now it rests
in your grasp to express the way only you know best
so don’t wait for that invite through the mail
get off the commuter rail and put up your room for sale
go above, beyond, and through the pale
think big, man, i’m talking like beluga whales
go now, disciple, my job is complete
i sparked you up so well, i’ve made myself obsolete

[chorus]
