He experienced a great loss His wife She jumped Off of a building May she rest in peace He tried to help her Pills and more pills Why, why did she do it? He must have asked himself Driven Far, far, away Iceman goes Goes into the wilderness Of his native land The biting cold The sharp air The plunge into Deep waters of despair He had dug a hole in the ice And it was under the ice That he swam A rope secured him His retina froze And for a moment He said he reached a deeper consciousness He learned to manufacture Adrenaline Hyperventilating And taking in more air Than he let out He has been in the HImalayas In his shorts And holds the world record Of being able to be submerged in icecold water For two hours up to his neck These are his records But it is not for his records That we should admire him But for his desire to help others Who had their own health problems He helped them face their own problems One man had cancer He talked of how empowering this was Not that he could be cured But that he could do something now To fight And these people they jumped together In the snow In the freezing cold In their shorts And the interviewer He climbed He climbed with the iceman Up the mountain No shirt, just shorts In the freezing cold The iceman said it himself It is love He wanted to bring love Through a strong body And a strong mind And this love that he showed To people Through his method Empowered them Strengthened them I admire you iceman And though As a man of Tao I would never hyperventilate Or control my breath I would venture into the cold with you I would climb with you Upon those mountains I would swim with you In the icy water It would be good to know you Good to know you And as you suffered from loneliness When your wife passed I suffer from loneliness too American life is so isolating Maybe after we will share some tea together You were right all along iceman To show each other love All we can do On earth This difficult place

The Iceman
He experienced a great loss His wife She jumped Off of a building May she rest in peace He tried to help her Pills and more pills Why, why did she do it? He must have asked himself Driven Far, far, away Iceman goes Goes into the wilderness Of his native land The biting cold The sharp air The plunge into Deep waters of despair He had dug a hole in the ice And it was under the ice That he swam A rope secured him His retina froze And for a moment He said he reached a deeper consciousness He learned to manufacture Adrenaline Hyperventilating And taking in more air Than he let out He has been in the HImalayas In his shorts And holds the world record Of being able to be submerged in icecold water For two hours up to his neck These are his records But it is not for his records That we should admire him But for his desire to help others Who had their own health problems He helped them face their own problems One man had cancer He talked of how empowering this was Not that he could be cured But that he could do something now To fight And these people they jumped together In the snow In the freezing cold In their shorts And the interviewer He climbed He climbed with the iceman Up the mountain No shirt, just shorts In the freezing cold The iceman said it himself It is love He wanted to bring love Through a strong body And a strong mind And this love that he showed To people Through his method Empowered them Strengthened them I admire you iceman And though As a man of Tao I would never hyperventilate Or control my breath I would venture into the cold with you I would climb with you Upon those mountains I would swim with you In the icy water It would be good to know you Good to know you And as you suffered from loneliness When your wife passed I suffer from loneliness too American life is so isolating Maybe after we will share some tea together You were right all along iceman To show each other love All we can do On earth This difficult place
