       OH let the sun beat down upon my face, stars fill my dream
       I am a traveler of both time and space, to be where I have been
       secret elders of a gentle race, swierl but seldom seen
       top of days for which they sit and wait, all will be revealed

  (basic song riff)
       offer song from tongues of lilding grace, sounds caress my ear
       not a word I heard could I relate, the story was quite clear
       WHOOA  OH,  WHOOA OH
 
   (POWER FILL) x 2
 
       Am     
       OOOH baby I`ve been lie`n
       OOOH yea, baby there aint no deny`n
       OOOH yea, I`ve been fly`n
       mama    aint no deny`n, no deny`n
   (POWER FILL) x 2
 
       Am                 B      Am                   B
       all I see turns to brown, as the sun burns the ground
       Am                     B     Am                  B
       and my eye filled with sand, as I scan this racy land
       Am                                     B
       try`n to find, try`n to find were I`ve been
 
  (basic song riff)
       AHHHH
 
       OH I love the storm that leaves no trace, like thoughts inside a dream
       he is the band that led me to that place, yellow desert screams
       like shangrela beneath the summer moon, I will return to err
       as the death that floats behind you, were moving through kashmir
   (POWER FILL)
       
  (basic song riff)
       OH father of the four winds fill my sails, cross the sea of errs
       with no provisions but an open face, norm`d straits of fear
       WHOOA  OH,  WHOOA OH
   (POWER FILL) x 2
 
       Am                          B
       When I want, when I`m on my way, yea
       Am                                    B
       When I feel, when I think my brain to stay
       Am         B  Am                B
       ... OOOH yea  OOOH yea when I`m down
       Am                            B
       OOOH yea  OOOH yea when I`m down
       Am                                     B
       OH my baby, OH my baby let me take you there
       Am              B
       let me take you there....
