lirik lagu tyson motsenbocker - nathan 1
for many years, in fact as many years as anyone could remember, the
people in the village, in the jungle
well, they talked to one another
most of the time, the people got along
but sometimes things would go wrong, and the people would
argue and fight until the thing troubling them changed
they would meet all together and talk
sometimes only a few people would speak in secret
and then later on they would take the thing they
talked about to others until the idea spread
every so often, the village’s older people would
forget what they’d learned when they were younger
whenever this happened, the young people would
talk in secret, two or three or five or 20
“maybe things can change, ” the young people would say
“maybe the old people aren’t so right all the time.” and
then the young people would tell the sort of young people
the sort of young people would tell the middle~old
people, and after a while, even some of the old~
old people could remember the way it was to be young
the fear and colors and love and rage and s~x of it, and together
everyone would make the village a place that could change again
that was why, every 10 years or so, the
village would become a new kind of place
the people would dress differently, sing different songs
and make different kind of pictures on the walls
when this happened in the village, some of the old people
would refuse to change their minds, so they would put them
out in the jungle where the tigers and snakes ate them
this was the way things were in the village
things were never peaceful all the time, because there
were all kinds of people in the village who needed
and wanted different things, but it was calm enough
it was peaceful after the people talked to one another
and changed whatever thing was causing them trouble
one day, a man named nathan came through
the jungle and all the way to the village
he came from far away and could make
the trees light up if he wanted to
nathan had a box, and inside the box, he
could tell people answers to their questions
“how many stars are there?” the people would ask in awe
“there are hundreds, maybe thousands, ” said nathan
and he would point them out and tell people their names
“how deep is the big blue river that runs south of
the village?” the people asked, their eyes wide open
“the river is deeper than anyone might think
but only in some places, ” nathan said
“in other places, it is shallow and full
of large rocks.” “wow, ” said the people
“now, look at this, ” nathan would say, and he would open
his box which had a pale blue light coming from it
“if you look in this box, you can
laugh and forget about your problems
you can learn more about stars and rivers and everything
” and the people would look into the blue light inside the
box, and they would laugh, and they laughed and laughed
“gosh, ” said the people, telling one another about the
funny things the box showed them when they looked inside
one day, there was a problem in the village, and the people
started coming together to talk about their troubles
“now, wait one minute, ” said nathan
“why don’t you all stay in the comfort of your houses?
i will walk around and tell everyone what everyone else is
saying, and we can solve the trouble that way.” so, the
people stayed in their houses, and nathan walked around
nathan could even summarize people’s arguments
and everything was solved so quickly
the people in the jungle, well, they were overjoyed
“nathan has made our arguments work out
and look at this, we didn’t even need
to come together and argue in person
it can be so arduous to see someone else’s whole face
while they are disagreeing with you.” and the people
laughed and looked inside the box again, one at a time
“but wait, ” said nathan
“i can do so much more than just solve your arguments
i can also bring things to your house when you don’t want to go
outside.” the people in the village could hardly believe it
was there no end to the way nathan could make their village better?
after a while, the people became very comfortable
to ask nathan to bring things to their homes
nathan would bring firewood and things for
cooking and everything you could possibly need
