Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We must get closer to the essence of life
But be aware that it takes courage and strife
Expand your mind, don't let it wither and die
You'll find it lifts your spirit high to the sky
C'mon meditate
[Verse 2]
Come on let's contemplate
Talk to the heavenly bodies
Of the universe of the universe
[Verse 3]
We must get closer to the essence of life
But be aware that it takes courage and strife
Expand your mind don't let it wither and die
You'll find it lifts your spirit high to the sky
High so common mediate
[Verse 4]
Let's contemplate
Talk to the heavenly bodies
Of the universe of the universe
[Verse 5]
I got to be free
My spirit's telling me
I got to be free
My spirit's telling me
Free from all the things that I don't really need
Free from all the things that I don't really need
[Verse 6]
That my mind is made up
No turning back for me
So that my mind is made up
No turning back for me
[Verse 7]
Must move with the times that things have got to pass
Must move with the times that things have got to pass
Move straight a head people
Move straight a head people
Got to get closer
