The Holy River Prince laid it all out in this jam... 
The words are brutally honest, and a bit of magic, IMO. Inspires me everytime I hear it... Gon Prince, witcha bad self... The Holy River Let's go down 2 a Holy River If We Drown then we'll be delivered U can still see the picture upon the wall One eye staring at nothin' at all The other one trying to focus through all u'r tears U can try and try but there's nothin' 2 hide U can't run from yourself and what's inside U got 2 find the answers 2 the questions that u most fear So over and over u ask u're soul Why'd u come down 2 a world so cold The voice inside says "2nite, the truth will be told" Surrounded u'reself with all the wrong faces spending your time in all the wrong places Putting your faith in things that only make u cry People say they love u when they want 2 help But how can they when u can't help u'reself The more they say they love u The more u just wanna die So here we go again-the self analysis Have another glass of port and forget this The band's playin at the club tonight and they're bound 2 groove There U are U think U're high U can't ask u'reself cuz u'd only lie If U had a dollar for every time U tried U can't call nobody cuz they'll tell U straight up come and make love when U really hate'em Relationships based on the physical R over and done They're over and done U'd rather have fun With only one...with only one...only one And then it hit 'cha like a fist on a wall Who gave U light when there was none at all? Who gave the sun permission 2 rise up everyday? Let me tell it... If U ask GOD 2 love U longer Every breath U take will make U stronger Keepin' U happy and proud 2 call his name... (gon, say it) JESUS Over and over, U ask u're soul Why'd u come down 2 a world so cold A voice inside says "2nite, the truth will B told" This time I was listening, hear me... Let's go down 2 a Holy River If we drown then we'll be delivered If we don't then we'll never see the light If U die before U try U'll have 2 come back and face the lie Cause when U believe it, U got a good reason 2 cry So I went on down 2 the Holy River I called my girl and told her i had something to give her I asked her 2 marry me and she said YES...I cried That night I drowned in her tears and mine instead of a glass of sorrow or wine Looking back ya'll, i don't miss nothing except for time and when i see that picture upon the wall The one eye staring at nothing at all My eyes try to focus, but these are much different tears Let's go down to the Holy River Let's go down to the Holy River Let's go down to the Holy River Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind. | |

moderatorSince I have been courageous enuff to post this aforementioned information for you all...NEVER FEAR what U do not know...for in FEAR there is "ignorance and suffering"...THE WORD OCCULT meens the following:
oc·cult ( P ) Pronunciation Key (-klt, klt) adj. Of, relating to, or dealing with supernatural influences, agencies, or phenomena. Beyond the realm of human comprehension; inscrutable. Available only to the initiate; secret: occult lore. See Synonyms at mysterious. Hidden from view; concealed. Medicine. Detectable only by microscopic examination or chemical analysis, as a minute blood sample. Not accompanied by readily detectable signs or symptoms: occult carcinoma. n. Occult practices or techniques: a student of the occult. v. oc·cult·ed, oc·cult·ing, oc·cults (-klt) v. tr. To conceal or cause to disappear from view. I find it ever so alarming that people RUN around doing "witchhunts and political escape goating all over the place" this type of thing was worsened in the renaissance period, surely jest, we are still not LIVING in DARK AGES...this is the age of the NEW DAWN of consciousness the age of enlightenment the age of bringing forth PEACE...the word OCCULT simply has been over run with FEAR...there is no FEAR but FEAR itself and the thoughts u hold within your CRANIUM to have this THOUGHT OF FEAR which of course then becomes manifested in ACTION... in speaking with the SONG THE HOLY RIVER it is about the LOVE energy the truth of LIFE the cleansing purity of water (albeit a kiss or a hug or an "embrace" of true pure love IT IS"" it is no way anything about FEAR...or the so called MIS interpreted word OCCULT...we as our responsible spiritual beings must OVERCOME such nonsense and stop bashing each other for what our individual choices are responsibly...GET OVER THE FEAR OF THE WHOLE MEDIA HYPED UP OCCULT CRAP and get on with your lives being ultimately "LOVE". thank u and have a lovely day. Signed SingMia   oh romeo romeo where for ART thou romeo...has thou not needed thy kisses refrained long enuff for thee to seek thine bossom to bring thine virtues within my whole being..N2 U..,my romeo... (WRITTEN FOR U on this day just cuz).
lololol P.S. LOVE is not seen it is not heard it is not even xplainable...LOVE JUST IS... | |
