It’s me, Jack
You know I owe you but I’ll be out soon
I know too that you still haven’t found Charlie
But I’m not giving up and I know you won’t either
We’ll find him when I get out and when we do
I can tell him myself that I’ve learned some things in this joint
Before I was lost, but in here I found the nation of now
And soon when I’m out, our nation will grow into what we’ve always wanted
What we’ve always needed, our very own
Halluci Nation
We’ll tell Charlie he didn’t need to die of exposure by the railroad tracks
That his physical body did, but it’s his spirit that fills our Halluci Nation
Light as helium, but weighted by the drum
When I first met you Charlie, I thought you were crazy
Now I wonder if I’m not that one
And so let us tell the story for you, let us tell the story to you
Even if I know you can’t hear it
There’s not much I know for sure kid
But one thing I do, all I know for sure is
I wish the ones who ran that school never did what they’d done to you
You’d still be walking around here if it hadn’t been for them
You stamped the world before you left it
You were part of the great seal that can’t be broken
You were part of the great seal of our nation, the great seal of Halluci Nation
Can you hear Charlie, like a strong heart pumping?
That’s a sound of five hundred years and all of us still drumming
Thanks fellas for listening all these years, for taking my calls
Our DNA is earth and sky after all
I’ll see you three as soon as I’m out
Oh, own it
Much love brother
Stay strong
Alright Jack, peace
Please stay on the line
