Single Greatest Song Of All Time

Make America Grateful again.

I have that on a t-shirt, actually...

 

I saw them live once in Vegas. I remember parts of it.

 

I have seen them live a ton of times, but I imagine I’m older than you. I actually paid for a significant part of college by selling tie-dye T-shirts.

"Ripple"

If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine
And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung,
Would you hear my voice come through the music?
Would you hold it near as it were your own?

It's a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken,
Perhaps they're better left unsung.
I don't know, don't really care
Let there be songs to fill the air.

Ripple in still water,
When there is no pebble tossed,
Nor wind to blow.

Reach out your hand if your cup be empty,
If your cup is full may it be again,
Let it be known there is a fountain,
That was not made by the hands of men.

There is a road, no simple highway,
Between the dawn and the dark of night,
And if you go no one may follow,
That path is for your steps alone.

Ripple in still water,
When there is no pebble tossed,
Nor wind to blow.

You, who choose to lead, must follow
But if you fall you fall alone.
If you should stand then who's to guide you?
If I knew the way I would take you home.

La dee da da da,
La da da da da,
Da da da, da da, da da da da da
La da da da,
La da da, da da,
La da da da,
La da, da da.

 

Billy Cobham is one of the greatest drummers of all time. And John McLaughlin was a cool white boy who was better than Eddie Van Halen. His early 70's work with Miles Davis was before Van Halen's first album in 1978.
