The Mockingbird Foundation is a non-profit organization founded by Phish fans in 1996 to generate charitable proceeds from the Phish community.
And since we're entirely volunteer – with no office, salaries, or paid staff – administrative costs are less than 2% of revenues! So far, we've distributed over $2 million to support music education for children – hundreds of grants in all 50 states, with more on the way.
Friends,
If the lord ever comes
descending from the skies in some fiery fashion
as so many say he will
You will not see me
going joyously to greet him expecting my deliverance,
but running for the hills
For if such a day should come to pass
this is no God come to save the human race,
but a big boat
like the ones our forefathers sailed
having made it across the great ocean to our shores
from outer space.
And friends
when that boat finally comes
ascending from the depths of our imagination
to appear within our sight
We'll be born again
as we've been so many times all throughout the ages
when we find that we're not right,
and with darkness lifted from our eyes,
then we'll find what should come as no surprise...
We're on a big boat
like the ones our forefathers sailed
headed across the great ocean from our shores
to outer space
