I am not afraid
of doing the things I do.
There must be something better
than living just like you.
Is this what scares you
deep inside your soul
is this the trip that takes you
where you're so afraid to go.
Chorus:
Take your time and don't you fight what you know is true. Take your time
You're so afraid of dying
but you're not afraid of flying.
Did you think that I would run from you.
Did you think you'd make me hide.
There's a peaceful reality
above the earth and sky
a beautiful situation
awaits our faithful eyes.
Seeing you confused
really don't turn me on.
I wish that you would let go
and let me lead you on.
Chorus
Living with this love
has blessed my earthly form.
The soul is everlasting
and here I'm safe and warm.
I have tasted fruits and honey
from a land so far away.
I'd like you to come with me
and stay here for a day.
A million miles and running
the atmosphere is stunning.
I know you'll want to stay here
for the rest of your days.
Open up your mind
and let your soul do the thinking.
Time to lose your hang-ups,
take your time and let love sink in!
Chorus
I am not afraid,
doing the things I do.
There must be something better
than living just like you...
There's a peaceful reality
above the earth and sky
a beautiful situation
awaits our faithful eyes.
A million miles and running
the atmosphere is stunning.
I know you'll want to stay here
for the rest of your days.
Seeing you confused
really don't turn me on.
I wish that you would let go
and let me lead you on.
Chorus
