The Center Of The Universe

The Lyrics of Terry Hubbard

The Center Of The Universe

Went down to the river just to watch it go by,

Grab an herbal smile and imagine the sky,

And pray for a while.

And pray for a while,

In the center of the Universe, where the river runs through.

Dead fish in the water, just above the crowd.

Maybe it was pollution, or was the music just too loud?

Got so excited that I got to go down,

To be invited to plug into sound,

And play for a while,

In the center of the Universe, where the river runs through.

It was ‘Hotel California’ on the day the music nearly died,

Drowned in alcohol and anger,

And the Sacred Spirit cried.

And they said it was an answer

to the destruction of the white mans’ greed.

As if a little bit of money could do anything

To supply what we really need.

If you wanna know what’s real, you got to go down

To the riverside, when no one’s around,

And stay for a while, and pray for a while,

And play for a while,

In the center of the Universe, where the river runs through
