Stride of the Mind
Striding Through the Mind: Patti Smith's Musical Journey Unveiled
Lyrics
I took a walk out to the sun But I just, just couldn't take it
Expresses a walk towards the sun but an inability to endure it
I followed a dream It was circular
Following a dream that seems repetitive or cyclical
But I just, just could not fake it
Unable to pretend or feign the dream
Step to the left the left the left Step to the right the right the right
Instructions to move left and right repetitively
Pick up the sign the sign the sign For a stride of the mind the mind
Urges to understand a symbolic sign for mental progress
Simon of the desert blew into town On the scalding tail of a bright cold wind
Introducing Simon's arrival in an impactful manner
Slipped through the sand Footprints emerged
Leaving traces where no one else walked, hinting at uniqueness
Where no one was walking Simon had been
Presence in a place where others weren't, suggesting individuality
Dropped from heaven To a ready made world
Transitioning from an ideal state to an imperfect reality
Said I'm no Sufi But I'll give it a whirl
Not conforming to a specific religious belief but exploring
We booked passage on the Book of the Dead
Choosing a path associated with exploring the afterlife
Time to travel Simon said
Ready to embark on a journey through time
Step to the left the left the left Step to the right the right the right
Reiteration of movement instructions
Pick up the sign the sign the sign On the stride of the mind the mind the mind
Emphasizing the importance of recognizing mental progress
Come on move where dreams increase Where every man is a masterpiece
Encouragement to move towards dreams and self-improvement
If you want to be counted As another kind
Recognition for those who strive for uniqueness
And you're true, pursue Stride of the mind the mind the mind...
Encouragement to persist on the path of mental growth
He bowed three times Removed his fez
Symbolic act of humility and direction
Pointed to heaven And Simon says
Pointing towards the divine and offering guidance
The mind the mind the mind Pick up the sign the mind the mind
Reiterating the importance of mental development
It's a vertical climb the climb the climb Stride of the mind the mind the mind
Describing the upward journey of mental progress
Pick up the sign the sign the sign It's a vertical climb the climb
Re-emphasizing the significance of recognizing mental growth
Take it in stride
Advising to accept challenges calmly
