Lyrics

[Verse 1]
All I ever wanted was some
Love, and peace, and harmony
I could dance in the raw
In the sun underneath the stars
When I walk over to my money tree
Ain't nobody there tryin' to take from me
When they ask, "Are you truly free?"
I'd say, "Yes, truly"
[Verse 2]
But down here, in reality
Everybody knows there ain't no such thing
And it's clear
It's obviously this is not the place I'm supposed to be
On, and on, and on I've searched
What I'm lookin' for is not here on earth
I can't stand, I can't take no more
So I know that I gotta go
[Verse 3]
So long, everybody
Mama, don't be sad for me
Life was a heartache
And now I am finally free
Don't know where I'm headed
Hope I see you someday soon
So long, everybody
I have gone beyond the moon
[Verse 4]
All I ever wanted
Love, and the peace, and the harmony
Just to be, to live and shine
When I get ready, I up and fly
And I can't remember
None of the things that I want to forget
It's the best satisfaction, no less
Ask if I'm free, and I'll say, "Oh, yes"
[Verse 5]
But down here, in reality
Everybody knows there ain't no such thing
And it's clear
It's obviously, this is not the place I'm supposed to be
On, and on, and on I've searched
What I'm lookin' for is not here on earth
I can't stand, I can't take no more
So I know that I gotta go
[Verse 6]
So long, everybody (Now)
Mama, don't be sad for me
Life was a heartache
But now I am finally free
Oh, don't know where I'm headed
Hope I see you someday soon
So long, everybody
I have gone beyond the moon
[Verse 7]
Before I do
Just one more look at you
It's worth the stay
But I'll meet you later at that better
Place
Place
All I ever wanted was
All I ever wanted was
All I ever wanted
All I ever wanted
[Verse 8]
So long, everybody
Mama, don't be sad for me
Life was a heartache
But now I am finally free
(I) Don't know where I'm headed (Now)
Hope I see you someday soon
So long, everybody
I have gone beyond the moon (I'm gonna see you someday)
So long, everybody
Mama, don't be sad for me
Life was a heartache
And now I am finally free
(I) Don't know where I'm headed (Now)
Hope (That) I see you someday soon
So long, everybody
I have gone beyond the moon (Bye-bye)
So long, everybody
Mama, don't be sad for me
