I twisted an arm, and here's the actual letter from Tracker School:

We were taken by surprise by the use of this song. Tom does not recall working or speaking with Justin Chancellor.

Billy McConnell no longer is connected with the school, nor did he have permission to use this material. The song is sacred to Tom and he does not reveal the meaning of the words to anyone.

I don't mean to take a harsh tone with you, but hearing someone sing a song, on an album no less, that Tom only shares with his students, has been upsetting to many people. It is like the breaking of a sacred trust.

Sorry I cannot be of more help to you.
