Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Living in the material world
Living in the material world
Can't say what I'm doing here
But I hope to see much clearer
[Verse 2]
After living in the material world
I got born into the material world
Getting worn out in the material world
Use my body like a car, taking me both near and far
Met my friends all in the material world
Met them all here in the material world
John and Paul here in the material world
Though we started out quite poor, we got 'Richie' on the tour
[Verse 3]
Got caught up in the material world
[Verse 4]
From the spiritual sky
Such sweet memories have I
To the spiritual sky
How I pray
Yes I pray
That I won't get lost or go astray
[Verse 5]
'Cause I'm fated for the material world
Get frustrated in the material world
Senses never gratified
Only swelling like a tide
That could drown me in the material world
[Verse 6]
From the spiritual sky
Such sweet memories have I
To the spiritual sky
How I pray
Yes I pray
That I won't get lost or go astray
[Verse 7]
While I'm living in the material world
Not much giving in the material world
Got a lot of work to do
Try to get a message through
Get back out of this material world
I'm living in the material world
Living in the material world
[Verse 8]
Hope to get out of this place
By the Lord Sri Krishna's grace
My salvation from the material world
