Transcript


On the last day of our time, let’s spend as much time as we should, through our open hearts, trying to make the world so good. It is beautiful and right, and I feel hollow, harrowed, sorrow. I’ll be staying up all night, it is beautiful and right. Cause going home can make you lost, it takes away your fight, it makes you wanna cry, it is beautiful and right. I know that you must go, but don’t be long, it tears my heart when you are gone. That’s what Frank is all about, old friends, new friends, heroes, we all come together. It is a sacred part of life. Please clap, please clap! I know that all of us have an idea, and if you can imagine what the world would look like, if all of us took our one good idea and brought it to life. And it fills me with delight. You don’t always have to act. You don’t always have to say something. Sometimes you just need to support, and sometimes you just need to get the fuck out of the way. I know that you must go, but don’t be long, it tears my heart when you are gone. And they say we’ll be alright, and I believe it too low, it isn’t true, but it helps me sleep tonight. And they say we’ll be alright. Cause I’m broken over missing you, you are my heart’s delight. What you gotta realize is that systems are perfectly designed for the results they attain. And so the question becomes how do we turn all this knowledge into something that feels authentic. And it just ain’t fair, I want you at my side, but I know it’s time to fly. I remember when you saved my life, and maybe I am selfish, but I don’t wanna say goodbye, but I know it’s time to fly. I know that you must go, but don’t be long, it tears my heart when you are gone. It doesn’t take days or years to change the world or reach your goals, it simply takes you. Don’t let time take you. You take time. I’m taking time talking about time and giving my time to you. My time is not precious. My time is not gold. My time is only valuable when I share it with you. May your love and warmth and light be the last things in your sight. It is beautiful and right. May your love and warmth and light be the last things in your sight. It is beautiful and right. Thank you.
