(Smith/Ray)



I took a walk out to the sun But I just, just couldn't take it 

I followed a dream It was circular 

But I just, just could not fake it 



Step to the left the left the left Step to the right the right the right 

Pick up the sign the sign the sign For a stride of the mind the mind 



Simon of the desert blew into town On the scalding tail of a bright cold wind 

Slipped through the sand Footprints emerged 

Where no one was walking Simon had been 



Dropped from heaven To a ready made world 

Said I'm no Sufi But I'll give it a whirl 

We booked passage on the Book of the Dead 

Time to travel Simon said 



Step to the left the left the left Step to the right the right the right 

Pick up the sign the sign the sign On the stride of the mind the mind the mind 



Come on move where dreams increase Where every man is a masterpiece 

If you want to be counted As another kind 

And you're true, pursue Stride of the mind the mind the mind... 



He bowed three times Removed his fez 

Pointed to heaven And Simon says 

The mind the mind the mind Pick up the sign the mind the mind 

It's a vertical climb the climb the climb Stride of the mind the mind the mind 

Pick up the sign the sign the sign It's a vertical climb the climb 

Take it in stride
