Transistor Radio

I heard my Grandpa on my transistor radio Though he turned in his bones 20 years ago And he said, "Kid, there's something that I'd like to show you Get your things, it's time for us to go" So I grabbed my backpack, my flashlight, and a bag of caramel corn I got my bicycle and the radio, and I headed on the road I said, "I'm ready for what I'm about to see" Yeah! We headed north until rain had turned to snow Through rusty towns and dusty gravel road And I said, "Grandpa, where is this thing you wanted to show me?" He said, "Kid, you got a long way to go" So I went through canyons, caves and catacombs I sailed on bicycle boats I slept in chapels and brothels and met the nicest folks I said, "I'm ready for what I'm about to see" Yeah! I heard grandpa on my transistor radio He said, "Kid, it's time for me to go And I know that there was something that I wanted to show you But it's time for you to find it on your own" Let me tell you about rage, when his signal died that day There's nothing out there, and I don't care if they take my life away I'm not ready, and I don't want to see No! It's been years since I've heard my transistor radio Yet I keep going to where it seems I'm meant to go And I finally realize what he wanted to show me Where I've been and where I am is the show Where I've been and where I am is the show This next two songs are kind of a turning point In the Cloud Cult kinda song direction Things, things were really dark there for, for quite a long time In the, in the early days And there was a very, very low point Where I really want to follow our son and find out where he was And I, all of a sudden, just felt like there's light around me, and And I heard voices just as clear as day And wrote it down as it was coming in And this next two songs were that moment in time And after that moment in time It became sort of apparent that Well, for all of us, it's not about us as individuals There's, there's much bigger calling for everybody And we just have to stop and listen 'Cause there's a lot of energy and forces out there That's trying to guide our lives in the right directions
