'Cause it seemed that...
1:18:10
the torch had been passed...
1:18:14
to another generation.
1:18:16
From earlier bohemian or beat...
1:18:20
illumination and self-empowerment.
1:18:26
And what'll you do now,
my blue-eyed son?

1:18:30
And what'll you do now,
my darling young one?

1:18:36
I'm a-going back out
before the rain starts a-fallin'

1:18:42
And I'll head for
the depths of the deepest dark forest

1:18:48
Where the people are many
and their hands are all empty

1:18:53
Where the pellets of poison
are flooding their waters

1:18:58
And I'll tell it, and think it,
and speak it, and breathe it

1:19:04
And reflect from the mountain
so all souls can see it

1:19:10
Then I'll stand on the ocean
until I start sinkin'

1:19:16
But I'll know my song well
before I start singin'

1:19:21
And it's a hard, and it's a hard
1:19:24
And it's a hard, and it's a hard
1:19:27
And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall
1:19:35
A very famous saying
among the Tibetan Buddhists:

1:19:39
"If the student is not better than
the teacher, then the teacher is a failure".

1:19:44
And I was really knocked out
by the eloquence.

1:19:49
Particularly, "I'll know my song well
before I start singing".

1:19:54
And, "Where all souls shall reflect it".
1:19:56
Or you know, "Stand on the mountain
where everybody can hear".

1:19:58
It's sort of this biblical prophecy.
