If you've heard all they got to say, you looked but turned away
Just walkaway, walkaway if you've said all you got to say
Now the words just slip away, just walkaway, walkaway, walkaway
That's what they say, what they say, what they say, you gotta walkaway
If you've played all the games they play, you played them yesterday
Just walkaway, walkaway, if you've been where they want to go
Seen all they got to show, just walkaway, walkaway, walkaway
That's what they say, what they say, what they say, you gotta walkaway
Now you must believe me, you never lose your dreams
So now you must believe me, ee never lose our dreams
If you've proved all there is to prove, got nothing left to use
Just walkaway, walkaway, if you've done all there is to do
There ain't nothing left for you, just walkaway, walkaway, walkaway
That's what they say, what they say, what they say
Walkaway, walkaway, walkaway
That's what they say, what they say, what they say
When you start to find, start to see the signs
Read between the lines
Then you start to learn, wheels start to turn
Fire burns
Tried to show you but you could not see me
Tried to tell you but you could not hear me, no
So I just let go
Then you realize all can't be defined
The questions in your mind
Then you open wide and see what's yet to come
Now it's only just begun
Tried to signal but you do not receive me
Tried the truth but you will not believe me, no
So I just let go
'Cause I can see the things I need to see
Come alive with energy
And I'm a big believer in mankind
Watch the world revolving, through my eyes
Watch the world evolving in my mind
When you start to learn, wheels start to turn
The fire burns
Then you open wide, see what's yet to come
And now it's only just begun
Tried to touch but I could not reach you
You hear the prayer but will you be preached to, no?
Watch the world revolving through my eyes
See the world evolving in my mind
And the world turns round and round
To the music and the sound
Can you help me? Help me if you can
For I'm in need of a helping hand or some understanding
I feel I'm sinking, sinking with the boat
Well, I'm trying to stay afloat, someone throw me some hope
Can you help me to set my course?
I'm aiming for better shores
And when I get there I hope to find a key
To fit the lock and open up my mind
Please, throw me a line, I'm lost here in time
I'm locked in my mind, please, hold back the tide
I feel I'm drifting, drifting with the tide
I let the ocean be my guide, waves I shall ride
Then I'm sinking, sinking in the depth
And I'm trying to catch my breath but no breath is left
Can you help me to set my course?
I'm aiming for better shores
When I get there I hope to find a key
To fit the lock and open up my mind
Please, throw me a line, I'm lost here in time
I'm locked in my mind, please, hold back the tide
Life pushes hard when you're down
And we're all lost until we're found
Until we're found, until we're found
Please, throw me a line, I'm lost here in time
I'm locked in my mind, please, hold back the tide
And from nowhere, someone shines a light
And sends to me some sight, gives back some life
And she gave all that she can give
Gives me the will to live, loves eternal gift
So at last we meet again
Together now until the end
We are as one and all is saved
Now it's time to turn, turn the final page
Together we find a place here in time
Together in mind, always to shine
Two of a kind, two of a kind
Two of a kind, two of a kind
Two of a kind, two of a kind
Two of a kind, two of a kind
Two of a kind, two of a kind
Two of a kind, two of a kind
Two of a kind, two of a kind
It's not what it seems, I'm certain of that
Now I know for sure
And I've seen many things that bring it all back
You bring it back once more
Chorus:
Just give me time, time, time, time, time (Just give me some)
Time, time, time, time, time (Just give me some)
Time, time, time, time, time (Just give me some)
Time, time, time, time, time
(Musical Interlude)
It's not what you say, the words that you use
It's every move that you make
There are many jokes, that keep me amused
But no one laughs that way
Chorus:
(Musical Interlude)
Every face I see, the look is the same
But no one knows for sure
But one thing that I know, is all that you take
You give it back and more
Chorus:
Time, time, time, time, time (Just give me some)
Time, time, time, time, time (Just give me some)
Time, time, time, time, time (Just give me some)
Time, time, time, time, time
Give me some, give me some,
Just give me some, give me some, give me some time...
I get along with mine, along with mine
I get along with mine, along with mine
Chorus:
Looking for peace of mind, looking for peace of mind
But I'm soul tied, yes I'm soul tied
We're all soul tied, yes I'm soul tied
(Musical Interlude)
I walk a lonely mile, a crooked mile
I wear a crooked smile, a lonely smile
Chorus:
Looking for peace of mind, looking for peace of mind
But I'm soul tied, yes I'm soul tied
We're all soul tied, we're all soul tied
(Musical Interlude)
(Guitar Solo)
I live within a mire, upon a mire
I went along with mine, spending my time
Chorus:
Just looking for peace of mind, looking for peace of mind
But we're soul tied, we're all soul tied
Yes I'm soul tied, we're all soul tied
She opens my eyes, she's all around me
And the brighter you shine, the more she sees you
She sun shines with you
Chorus:
If I can't be free, what am I to be?
If I can't have you, what am I to do?
What am I to do? What am I to be?
What am I to do, if I can't be free?
She opens her eyes, she looks right to me
And this feelin' inside, is what she gives to me
She sun shines with me
Chorus:
If I can't be free, what am I to be?
If I can't have you, what am I to do?
What am I to be? What am I to do?
What am I to be, if I can't have you?
(Musical Interlude)
She who takes my hand, she leads the way
She is in my morning, night and day
(Musical Interlude)
She opens her eyes, she looks right through me
And this feelin' inside, she gives it to me
She sun shines in me
Chorus:
If I can't be free, what am I to be?
If I can't have you, what am I to do?
What am I to be? What am I to do?
What am I to be, if I can't have you?
(Musical Interlude)
If I can't be free - what am I, what am I to be?
I've got a sandstorm
Blowing in my head
I'm seeing many colors but the only one
That's coming through is red
And it's stopping me dead
Trying to make some tracks
But my feet, they are feeling like lead
Stop being bled, stop being bled
I say, oh, my things aren't the same
Anyone could see that if I stayed
Much longer, I'd be tamed
We stopped playing games
I'm not pointing fingers
But I'm not taking all the blame
Playing all your games, taking all your blame
I said, oh, no, I don't even care
I guess I'll be seeing you
I guess I'll be leaving you today
We're just aren't playing
I know you've been trying
But I just can't bear to tell a lie
Telling me all your lies
Telling me all your lies, lies
Let me take you by the hand
Try to understand
You walk me to a land
Try to understand
Are you nothing but a man?
I've got a sandstorm
Blowing in my head
I'm seeing many colors but the only one
That's coming through is red
You know how we feel
We can't go on pretending
And we've just got to fix the deal
Well, I can see my reflection, reflecting in you
And I can feel the connection, connecting the two
It's dream reality, trying to break free and move me
Dream reality, trying to break free from this world, from the world
Well, I can feel your reaction, reacting with mine
And now I sense things are happening, they're happening on time
It's dream reality, trying to break free and wake me
Dream reality, trying to break free from this world, from the world
Dream reality, trying to break free and move me
Dream reality, trying to break free from this world
Free from this world
Set me free from this world, free from the world
Well, I can feel your direction, directing me on line
And I believe you're responding, responding to your mind
It's dream reality, trying to break free and move me
Dream reality, trying to break free from this world
You say you caught a glimpse
Of a man with reverence
And if you could ever meet
Could you please report to me?
And tell me, what did he say
To change your day
And keep the fear at bay
If you did, you better learn to pray
I'm sure I heard them say
There'll come a time when all must pay
And every penny that you spend
You're gonna pay back in the end
And tell me, was it worth the cost
If all is lost and the world is robbed?
The only sound is the echo of your sob
And so the fire burned
In the final days, the world refused to turn
And all the oceans turned to sand
Ain't nothing left of our promised land
Got to learn to change our ways
If you wanna live and breathe another day
But what it is, you just can't believe
We're comin' in out of the dark
We're gonna reach high for the stars
We're gonna take back what is ours
With a kiss, you will betray
And all you give, you take away
And in our finest hour
We recognized the taste is sour
Tell me, was it worth the cost
If all is lost and the world is robbed?
The only sound is the echo of your sob
And so the fire burned
In the final days, the world refused to turn
And all the oceans turned to sand
Ain't nothing left of our promised land
Got to learn to change our ways
If we want to live and breathe another day
But what it is, you just can't believe?
We're comin' in out of the cold
We're gonna buy before we get sold
We're gonna make new what is old
We're comin' in out of the dark
We're gonna reach high for the stars
We're gonna take back what is ours
We're comin' in right out of the cold
We're gonna buy before we get sold
We're gonna make new what is old
Look out, look out, look out, look out
Look in, look in, look in
Look out, look out, look out, look out
Look in, look in, look in
All I do is a constant reminder
The future's here and it walks right behind you
All I see is a constant illusion
My head spins and my world's in confusion
Look out, look out, look out, look out
Look in, look in, look in
Look out, look out, look out, look out
Look in, look in, look in
All I see is self-rearranging
The moment's here but it's already changing
Take one step and that's your direction
You ain't sure, now, was that the intention?
Pre - Chorus:
Close my eyes, I think of times
And this memory's twisting my head
I've got a feelin' that it's all not over yet
I've got some things that I just cannot forget
Chorus:
All I do is think of you, you've got me on the run
On the run, on the run
On the run, on the run
Look out, look out, look out, look out
Look in, look in, look in
Look out, look out, look out, look out
Look in, look in, look in
Looking round, you can take it or leave it
You got a feeling but you must believe it
All you do is constantly changing
You feel a rise and it's already fading
Pre - Chorus + Chorus:
(Guitar Solo)
It's taken so long for the sun to appear,
(look in, look in, look in, look out)
Now the blue sky above is so clear,
(look out, look out, look out, look in)
And everything you need is so near
(look in, look in, look in, look in, look in, look out)
It's taken so long for the sun to appear,
(look in, look in, look in, look out)
Now the blue sky above is so clear,
(look out, look out, look out, look in)
Oh, and everything you need is so near
Chorus:
Never gonna tell you what to do
Take the best of you - tell you what to say
Try and show the way, you've got to make it yours today
If it gets you on your way
See it don't matter - I'll find my own way home
You better do what you can
You're trying - but what can a poor boy do
We're hoping, the best that you can
We're wishing, hopin' and a prayin' now that
You've landed back on your feet
You're gonna, rise from the ashes boy
You're gonna rise from the street
Chorus:
(Musical Interlude)
When you get the chance, take it with both hands
Make it yours today, it might pass away
Dream yourself a dream, show me what you've seen
Take me where you've been, Life, I need a dream
La la la la, la la la la la, la la la la
(repeat from beginning of song)
La, la, la, la, la la la la
You can paint my face
Features you disguise
The masquerade takes place
Before your very eyes
Mirror me the way, I mirror you
Imitate the things, that you do
I can change my look, I'll dress up just like you (yeah)
Easily mistook, appearing like I do
Mirror me the way, I mirror you
Imitate the things, that we do
Chorus:
Isn't many things that are free
This one comes to me, I take it gracefully
Nothing that I say or I do
Change a thing for you, it's you who pushes through
(Musical Interlude)
Now I'm ten feet tall, the world looks oh so small
But I can see it all, just where I'm standing from
And though a man must fall, and world is where he'll land,
And when a man don't fly, this world is where he'll stand
Mirror me the way, I mirror you.
Imitate the things, that you do
Chorus:
(Musical Interlude)
There's just the two of me
Alone at last together
We've got the luck so far
We are my lucky star
Deep in the heart of me
I love every part of me
All I can see in me
Is the danger and ecstasy
One thing there couldn't be
Is any more me in me
This is the me of me
Me me me!
Me me
Me me me
Me me me
I am my destiny.
Je croirai toujours en moi. Ha ha ha
I'd never lie to me.
I'd be willing to die for moi.
I'll pray every day to me.
And here's what I'd says to me
This is the me of me
Me me me!
Me me
Me me me
Me me me
Me me me
Ohh me me
Me me me
Ohhhh me me
I'm on a cul de sac
And I gotta go back
So come on feet
We're gonna hit the streets
We've got it made
I'm looking for trade
I'm looking for love
I'm looking for trade.
I need some young blood
I need some young blood
I need it now.
I need some young blood
I need some young blood
And were gonna get it somehow.
I'm on a dead end street
I'm like a dog in heat
I'm like a kid with no toys
I wanna get those boys
Oooh I can't delay
I'm looking for trade.
I'm looking for love
I'm looking for trade.
Oh were all living like there's no tomorrow
And the way things are going that's probably true
But without you and me sis
The world would fall to pieces
Vena Cava whos the raver?
Our raving savior that's you
I'm on a primrose path
I'm looking for a little laugh
Remember its no fun
To be the chosen one.
There are games to be played
Looking for trade.
I'm looking for love
I'm looking for trade.
I need some young blood
I need some young blood
I need it now.
Ohhh! I need some young blood
I need some young blood
And I'm gonna get it somehow.
Like a virgin, with an urgin, in a surgery
I'll be swinging, I'll be bringing out the nurse in me.
The art will start when I play my part
As a healer who will steal your heart
Oh look what I did to my ID.
Oh look what I did to my ID.
With neurosis in perfusion
And psychosis in your soul
Eliminate confusion
And hide inside a brand new role!
Like a good time girl I'm gonna try some new tricks
This could be the start of a whole new career
Got a deep plum lipstick and some t
herapeutics
This could take us to a town that's nowhere near here.
Got some heartfelt symptoms and I'm feeling sneaky
Young male intern tall and handsome
Got my hems so high they'll think I'm being cheeky.
Legs like mine were really made for dancing
Oh oh oh! Hey hey hey!
When heavens in the music
Hell is in control.
The angel's got the voices
But the Devil's got rock and roll!
We may look we're phony medics
But we took our look from a book by Frederick's
Oh look
what I did to my ID - ID!.
Somebody's after me, I can't pretend to be
Something I know I'm not
And when they come for me - I'll just let them be
'Cause all that I need today, is all I need
Chorus:
I just wanna be thinking thoughts that I think
Dreaming my dreams and drifting within
I don't know where I'm goin'
But I know where I've been - so come on look within
Someone will always be more than I'll ever be
So then I'll be myself.
And when they come for me - I'll just let them be
'Cause all that I need today - I need today
Chorus:
I just wanna be thinking thoughts that I think
Dreaming my dreams and drifting within
I don't know where I'm goin'
But I know where I've been - come on, live your dream
(Guitar Solo)
Oh you're big enough - you're tuff enough, and now I begin to see
Girl you've gotta, lay your love on me.
It's big enough - so far enough, and as far as my eye can see
Girl you gotta, lay your love on me, lay your love on
Lay your love on - lay your love on me
Somebody's after me, I can't pretend to be
Something I know I'm not
And when they come for me - I'll just let them be
'Cause all that I need today, I need today
Chorus:
An' I just wanna be thinking thoughts that I think
Dreaming my dreams and drifting within
I don't know where I'm goin'
But I know where I've been - so come on, live your dream
Like a bird without wings
Like a bird who don't sing
Like a fish on dry land
Like I'm swimmimng in sand
Like a bird without wings
Like a bird who don't sing
Like a fish on dry land
Like I'm swimmimng in sand
I'm so lonely, I just got to let you know
And I got to let you
If you'd only look, you hold the key to show
I've got to let you, I've got to let you know
That, I'm so lonely, I've just got to let you know
And I've got to let you
Take me to the places that I need to go.
I've got to let you
I've got to let you know, know, know, know, know, know, know, know, know
Chorus:
If you don't know
If you don't see my face - calling you back
If you don't hear, you hear my voice
If you don't see my face - calling you back
Calling you back
I'm so lonely, I just got to let you know
I've got to let you
If you'd only see, you'd let the feeling grow
Just let the feeling
Just let the feeling grow, grow, grow, grow, no, no, no, no, no
Chorus:
Calling you back (repeat)
I was born to live and I live to give
I'm the love that you feel, the life that lives real in you
I was born to die and I live to cry
I'm your tormented soul, blackness that holds to all you
So think of me as history
And I will leave to you all that you do
Well, I walked this earth since woman gave birth
I'm a seed that is sown, the harvest is grown in all of you
But I've laid to waste my future in haste
And I'm the crops that have failed
The burden that's nailed to all you
So think of me as history
And I will leave to you all that you do
So think of me as history
And I will leave to you all that you do
All love is holy, all love is holy, all love is holy
Our love is holy
I'm the cloud that bursts, I rain down for your thirst
I'm the thunder you hear, the lightening that spears your night
I'm the shadow that is cast, I project all your past
I'm the children you burn, the cross that is turned by all you
So think of me as history
And I will leave to you all that you do
All that you do
All that you do
All that you do
Chorus:
Get up, get up, get up, get up (x4)
Here comes my guiding star - to take me home
We travelled lands afar - we blindly roam
Bridge:
We spread our wings - in search of truth and all it brings
We've got a glimpse of the forgotten dream
And we want it to pass to you
Chorus:
Two thousand years apart - and still remain
You carve into my heart - a sacred name
Bridge:
Chorus:
(Guitar Solo)
We got a glimpse of the forgotten dream (x3)
And we want it to pass to you
Here comes my guiding star - to take me home
We travelled lands afar - we blindly roam
Bridge:
Chorus:
Get up, get up, get up, get up, (x3)
Give me some time to be me
Give me the space that I need
Give me a reason to be
Give me some time to be
I've got to open my eyes to see
Give me the air that I breathe
Give me the taste that is sweet
Feeding a space that's in me
Just free me, just free me, just free
Chorus:
Out on a ledge can make it
Out of my depth can face, face it, face it
Livin' this life ain't easy
Living with dreams that free, free me, free me
So give me the words that fall free
Give me the song that I sing
Listening hard to hear me
Give me some time to be
You've got to open your eyes to see
Give me the love that I need
Show me the light that blinds me
Just bring it all closer to me
Just free me, so free me, so free
Chorus:
Bridge: (Follow on from chorus)
Free
I wonder why you're so far away
I wonder why you're so far away
So far
(Musical Interlude)
Free (repeat)
As wide as the ocean in me
As high as the sky above me
As deep as the earth beneath me
It's free, it's free, so free
Chorus:
Free
As wide as the ocean (free free free)
As high as the sky (free free free)
As deep as the earth (free free)
(repeat following verse till end)
As wide as the ocean (free)
As deep as the earth (free)
These four walls, I'm destined to stay
They say I'm guilty and the guilty must pay
But all I'm askin' is to have a my say
Do you think I'll ever get out?
Will I ever get out of here?
Will I ever push down my fear?
Will I ever see through my tears?
Will I ever get out of here tonight?
The sands of time them fallin' right through my hand
Can't make no sense and I can't make no plans
All I'm askin' is to lend me your hand
Come on and help me get out
Will I ever get out of here?
Will I ever push down my fear?
Will I ever see through my tears?
Will I ever get out of here tonight?
Will I ever get out of here?
Will I ever push down my fear?
Will I ever see through my tears?
Will I ever get out of here tonight?
So at last I'm feeling the pain
(Time to get out, time to get out)
Can't take the weight and I can't take the strain
(Time to get out, time to get out)
I see no future and I can't see no gain
(Time to get out, time to get out)
It's like we never get out
(Time to get out, time to get out)
Will I ever get out of here?
(Time to get out, time to get out)
Will I ever push down my fear?
(Time to get out, time to get out)
Will I ever see through my tears?
(Time to get out, time to get out)
Will I ever get out of here tonight?
Well, I guess I'll never know?
I guess I'll never know, I guess I'll never know
Free, am I free to go? Am I free, am I free to go?
Well, I guess I'll never know
I guess I'll never know, I guess I'll never know
Free, am I free to go? Am I free, am I free to go?
So what's it all about? Do you really wanna know?
Do you wanna give or do you just wanna take it all and go?
'Coz you've got to let it out, if you wanna let it in
Got to let a little bit lovin' in to make it all begin
You've got to find time to pick the right time to make a change
'Coz it's a fine time to pick the right time to make a change
So when you gonna learn that it takes all sorts
Don't you think our life would be a little drab
If we had the same thoughts?
'Coz you've taken all the goods
But you leave me with the bads
And if you don't make a change pretty soon
There won't be nothin' comin' back
You've got to find time to pick the right time to make a change
'Coz its a fine time to pick the right time to make a change
I do believe you read the verse, I do believe you wrote the words
I just need to let you out to, let you in again
I just need to feel your love again and again
You' better find time to pick the right time to make a change
'Coz it's a fine time to pick the right time to make a change
So what's it all about? Do you really wanna know?
Do you want to give or do you just want to take it all and go?
'Coz you've got to let it out, if you want to let it in
Got to let a little bit lovin' in and make it all begin
You've got to find time to pick the right time to make a change
You better find time to pick the right time to make a change
I do believe you read the verse, I do believe you wrote the words
I just need to let you out, to let you in again
You're a loser
An abomination in the eyes of any sensitive man
And you're a blind alley cruiser
Always heading down a losing strait
Dreaming that you're screaming at fate
You're a dead end dead beat nowhere mister
With a kiss like a Mississippi alligator's sister
I took as much of you as any man can!
You've lost your heart
You've lost your cause
You lost your baby when you lost your balls!
You've lost your mind
You've lost your grip
So say bye-bye!
We lost our Mom
We lost our Dad
And if I'm losing you
Well that's too bad
Well the best thing you could ever do is die.
You're a failure
A malformation in the guise of many
An also-ran
And yo
u're a weeper and a whiner
Always treading on the toes of the great
Generally spreading your weight
You're a spiteful, hateful, asinine creature
A pupil with no scruples who knew better than the teacher
I took as much of yo
u as any man can!
You've lost your heart
You've lost your cause
You lost your baby when you lost your balls!
You lost your mind
When you lost your grip
So say bye-bye!
We've lost our home
Our family
You've lost compassion
Now you're losing me.
Well the best thing you could ever do is die.
Well the best thing you could ever do is die.
We rarely recognise the source
We barely touch upon its shores, though blinded by its force
And who's to say what's inbetween?
Can we ascend to where we've been, respond to what we've seen?
Are we in touch with things afar?
Are we to be all that we are, we dance amongst the stars
Chorus:
You better make your move, you make your move to where you are
And you're so far away, out of touch with who you are
We look to see the moment pass
The instant falls within our grasp
We long to make it last
And who's to say how we define
If we're to draw a constant line
A circle turns in time
Chorus:
Chorus Extension:
Why don't you reach where you are?
Why don't you shine like a star?
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba, ba da ba da bey, hey hey
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba
Bridge:
All together, to - gether, all to - ge - ther
All together, to - gether, all to - ge - ther
(Musical Interlude)
All to - ge - ther, all to - ge - ther,
All to - ge - ther, to - gether, all together
We seldom seize upon the chance
We only glimpse it at a glance
When shaken from our trance
Fine line divides between the two
For here stands I and there stands you
Connected by one truth
Chorus + Chorus Extension:
You gotta make your move, you make the move to where you are
And you're so far away, out of touch with who you are
Why can't you reach where you are?
Why don't you reach where you are?
Why don't you shine like a star?
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba

Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba, ba da ba da hey, hey hey
Like a wheeling machine, industry grinds
I've been walking between company's lines
But I say to myself, one day real soon
That I won't have to chew company's food
Company rules my day like a dog on a lead
Told when to fetch, I've been chasing my tail
From one day to the next, it's a canine disease
Suffering fair but I know that I'll find
Sun and fresh air all day
When I get up, early in the morning
And I get home, early in the evening
So I get high only for the feeling
Save your reply
Like a dog on a lead, I'm told when to fetch
I've been chasing my tail
From one day to the next, it's a canine disease
Suffering fair but I know that I'll find
Sun and fresh air all day
When I get up, early in the morning
And I get home, early in the evening
So I get high only for the feeling
Save your reply, save your reply and fly
It's a feeling I get walking down the street
I recognize the effect in everyone I meet
It's a dog gone affair keep me on a chain
Every time I run free, I always feel restrained
It's a feeling I get walking down the street
I recognize the effect in everyone I meet
It's a dog gone affair keep me on a chain
I know how it feels
To be cooling my heels
I've been down on them
Long enough
But if I take to them now
Then maybe somehow
You'll see through the bluff
Of my playing it tough
I've been a lifetime on deposit
And that's a long time in the closet
And if you say to me
How was it?
It was hard taking
That heart breaking
God forsaken route.
But I'm
Buh buh buh buh buh buh
Breaking out!
You may say that you choose
To be in my shoes
Well look what it
Did for me
I got buried alive
I don't thrive on that jive
Look and you'll see
That the spikes don't fit me
I've been a lifetime on deposit
And that's a long time in the closet
And if you say to me
How was it?
It was hard taking
That heart breaking
God forsaken route.
But I'm
Buh buh buh buh buh buh
Breaking out!
Breaking out!
Breaking out!
Breaking out!
Breaking out!
Well, I got a beat for your mama
Well, I got a beat for your mind
Well, you want to be what you wanna
Well, you better reach deep inside
Free your mind
Free your mind
Free your mind
Free your mind
Well, I got a beat for your sister
Sister got a beat for mankind
See, we got to love one another
See, she's got the love that she finds
Deep inside
Free your mind
Free your mind
Free your mind
Well, you just turn it on
Turn it up, don't turn it down
And you want to belong
To the love from higher ground
Feel the love from higher ground
Well, I got a beat for your brother
Well I got a beat for your kind
See you wanna reach one another
Well, you better step, step in line, jump in time
Some people do it for compassion
Some people do it for the fashion
Some people do it to be funny
Some people do it for the money
Some people do it for enslavement
Some people do it on the pavement
But. . .
We're gonna do it anyhow anyhow
We're gonna do it anyhow anyhow
We're gonna do it
No matter how the wind is blowing
We're gonna do it anyhow anyhow
We're gonna do it anyhow anyhow
We're gonna do it
We just gotta keep going
Some people do it for
each other
Some people do it for their lover
Some people do it for improvement
Some people do it for the movement
Some people do it for enjoyment
Some people do it for employment
But. . .
We're gonna do it anyhow anyhow
We're gonna do it anyhow anyhow
We're gonna do it
No matter how the wind is blowing
We're gonna do it anyhow anyhow
We're gonna do it anyhow anyhow
We're gonna do it
We just gotta keep going
We just gotta keep going
We just gotta keep going
Take the knowledge away
Suck the breath from the clay
Break the bone to the ground
Leave the soul where it's found
Lead the soul where it's found
Through the passage of time
One day soon to arrive
Silver bird in the sky
Leave this world all behind
Taking over the world
They're taking over our world
Looking out from inside
When you see what you find
Out of sight out of mind
Meet the seed of mankind
Taking over the world
They're taking over our world
Looking out from inside
When you see what you find
Out of sight out of mind
Meet the seed of mankind
Higher and higher
Spiraling through the sky
Vertically rising
Through a white wall of space
It's further and further
Pushing on through the clouds
Perfect response
To falling from grace
For me to look
For you are found
Need to speak
I hear the sound
On the street
