Hush comes over the hall
White envelope in Prince's hand
The Artist addresses them all
Whispers your name into the microphone
Stumble in shock to the bandstand
With no embrace he hands you the statue
The look on his face saying
You and I both know
Nothing you've done can't be traced back to me
You nod as if you understand
In this moment arrogant you ain't
Your hero stands there smirking
As you attempt to catch your breath but faint
Leaders at 7 o'clock
Over dinner an open discussion
Addressing the woes of the earth
And how to put most of the people here to work
Because when someone is working
They slowly begin to grasp the concept
Work is the best-kept secret of the world
Agreements are made with champagne and handshakes
Oceans are turned into water to drink
Deserts are turned into infinite farmland
Nobody ever goes hungry again
The countries all live in true symbiosis
In a band with some friends
Everyone's right on the same page
The positive vibe never ends
Even the drummer makes contributions
Rumble and rock 'round the bandstand
This all erases past disappointment
Working in groups riddled with ego
Who could not overcome all their insecure urges
You're in the ultimate band
You bring in your songs and they're truly excited
To play and arrange and record them with love
You're the big genius and everyone knows this
Everyone knows this
Everyone knows this
There's a knock at the door
White envelope in the courier's hand
A letter addresses the core
You read it out loud to yourself standing alone
Tumble in shock what it's saying
"Man I was wrong and I really miss you.
Don't know if you can ever forgive me but
Take this as my sincerest apology."
You nod as if you understand
In this moment hell arrogant you ain't
So many years of waiting
Craving some kind of reconciliation
Reconciliation
Reconciliation
Reconciliation
