I lift you off the earth mundane and glum 
Out of solar system where you passed the sun 
`Til all the fear in your hart is gone and so on 

Walking trough the world with no pressure 
Inner peace beyond measure 
I was leaving where it came in 
When a man said stop 
I want to have what you have 
and get what you got 

I got it sleeping rough on the streets in the rain 
I got it learning to share my peoples pain 
I got it making flowers grow in hearts of stone 
I got it `cos I always take thee long way home 

I`ve been walking trough the world with no pressure 
As fresher full of vigour life becomes my mirror 
The further I go the more I know 
Oh yeah, wherever the wind blow I`ll be there 

Turned up in places that I never intended to go 
And so ended my youth I once deepended on proof 
Now I`m in the flow, there I things I know beyond knowing 
I`ve seen a seed growing, I was going back home 
When a man said stop, I want to have what you have 
And get what you got 

I got it sleeping rough on the streets in the rain 
I got it learning to share my peoples pain 
I got it making flowers grow in hearts of stone 
I got it `cos I always take thee long way home
