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 that it lifts your spirits high to the sky
So meditate
C'mon let's contemplate
Talk to the heavenly bodies
Of the universe, of the universe
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 that it lifts your spirits high to the sky, high
So c'mon, meditate
Let's contemplate
Talk to the heavenly bodies
Of the universe, of the universe
I've got to be free, my spirit's telling me
I've 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
Dammit, my mind is made up, mo turning back for me
Said that my mind is made up, no turning back for me
Must move with the times that things have got to pa**
Must move with the times that things have got to pa**
Move straight ahead, people
Move straight ahead, people
Got to get closer
