Verse 1
The (F major) (D minor) world you first encountered when you were 15,
(F major) the world which has starved you,
despised you,
(A minor) here (F major) (A minor) it comes again. (F major)
This (D minor) time it is bearing gift (F major) s.
The (D minor) phone
didn't ring before, if you had a phone. (A minor) (F major)
(A minor) Now (D minor) it never (F major) stops ringing. (A minor)
(D minor) When people are saying,
what do you do?
They say, won't you do this? (A minor) (F major) (D minor)
And you become, or you could become,
(A minor) a very import (D minor) ant person.
You find yourself in the position of a woman I don't know
who sings a certain song in a certain choir. (A minor)
When (D minor) the song begins, she says,
(A minor) I said I wasn't (D minor) going to tell nobody, but (A minor) I couldn't keep (D minor)
it to myself. (A minor) (D minor)
You've come full (A minor) circle. (D minor) (A minor)
Full (D minor) circle. (A minor)
(D minor) Here you are again, (A minor) (D minor) (C major) with all (A minor) to do (D minor) all over again,
(A minor) and you must (D minor) decide (C major) all (A minor) over again
Wheth (D minor) er you want to be famous,
(A minor) or (D minor) (A minor) whether you want to write. (D minor) (C major) (A minor)
And the two thing (D minor) s, (A minor) in spite of all the evidence,
(D minor) have nothing whatever (A minor) in (D minor) common. (A minor) (D minor) (A minor)
Now (D minor) what is it, (A minor) at the point (D minor) of the artist? (C major)
(A minor) (D minor) (A minor) (D minor) (C major) (A minor) (D minor) (A minor) (D minor) (A minor)
This (D minor) is the (C major) (A minor) (D minor) trickiest
part of the whole argument. (C major) (D minor)
I was having lunch today with two very good friends of mine,
(C major) (D minor) or one very good friend of (C major) (D minor) (C major) (D minor)
And they're both artists, and I wasn't trying to be sardonic,
the (C major) (D minor) friend of the friend is
a man I admire very much, the other one is a cat I really don't dig. (A minor)
(D minor) (A minor) (D minor) (A minor) (D minor) (A minor) (D minor) (C major) (D minor) (C major) (D minor)
(C major) (D minor) (C major) (D minor) (C major)
(D minor) Background music playing.
People don't (C major) know (D minor) you, never will know you,
(C major) people (A minor) (D minor) who may try to kill you in the
morning. (C major) (D minor)
Live in a darkness, (C major) (D minor) which if you have that funny,
terrible thing (C major) which (D minor) every artist can
recognize and no artist can define,
you (C major) (D minor) are responsible to those people to (C major) lighten (D minor) that
darkness.
And it does not matter what happens to you,
you are being used in the way a crab is useful,
the way sand certainly has some function.
It is impersonal.
(C major) This (D minor) force that you didn't ask for and this destiny
which you must accept is also your responsibility.
And if you survive it, if you don't cheat, if you don't lie,
it is not only, you (C major) (D minor) know,
your glory, your achievement, it is almost our only hope,
because only an artist can
tell, and only artists have told, since we have heard of man,
what it is like for anyone
who gets to this planet to survive.
What it's like to die,
or to have somebody die.
What
it's like to fear death.
What it's like to fear.
What it's like to love.
What it's like
to be glad.
Hymns don't do this. (C major) (A minor)
(D minor) Churches really cannot do (C major)
(D minor) The trouble is, that (C major) although the (D minor) artist can do it,
the price that he has to pay himself,
that you, the audience, will also pay,
is the willingness to give up everything.
To realize that although you've spent 27 years acquiring this house,
this furniture, this position, (C major)
(D minor) Although you spent 40 years raising this (C major) child,
(D minor) these children, none of it belongs to you.
You can only have it by letting it go.
You can only take if you
are prepared to give.
And giving is not an investment,
it is not a day at the bargain counter, it is a total
stories of everything, (D minor) of you. (F major) (D minor) (D minor) (D minor)
(D minor) (D minor) (D minor)
(D minor) (D minor) (D minor)
I'll you next time.
