    There's too much barriers

    Between you and I

    Tho' we're both of the same kind

    It's the same current that runs through our minds

    So trap your egos' to mine.



    Stop a while and keep your cool and

    Listen to what I'm saying

    Tho I know temptation strong

    You'll reap the treasure of knowing

    Then you'll start growing, growing, growing.
