You're moving, keep climbing
You're moving, keep climbing
If you're wonderin' what's on your mind
It's the one keystone people keep tryin' to find
The state of mind that puts you there
In evolutions everywhere
Is creeping back from the affair
So leave, leave, leave your body behind
Leave, leave, leave, leave your body behind
Yes, yes, yes, you always come back
To live the desire you want on your track
Live the love, it gives its returns
The higher you're living now the purer it burns
So keep climbing, move your energies higher
So keep climbing, your sun catches on fire
So keep climbing and bathe in the sun
That dawns in the darkness once the journey's begun
Remember, remember why can't you remember?
Remember that we're fallen, indifference from the love
It's only habit circumstance
It fits you like a glove
Remember that we're callen in every cast of words
It's spoken in the voices, of the holy sound you've heard
You've got to remember, remember
You're moving, keep climbing
If you're wonderin' what's on your mind
It's the one keystone people keep tryin' to find
The state of mind that puts you there
In evolutions everywhere
Is creeping back from the affair
So leave, leave, leave your body behind
Leave, leave, leave, leave your body behind
Yes, yes, yes, you always come back
To live the desire you want on your track
Live the love, it gives its returns
The higher you're living now the purer it burns
So keep climbing, move your energies higher
So keep climbing, your sun catches on fire
So keep climbing and bathe in the sun
That dawns in the darkness once the journey's begun
Remember, remember why can't you remember?
Remember that we're fallen, indifference from the love
It's only habit circumstance
It fits you like a glove
Remember that we're callen in every cast of words
It's spoken in the voices, of the holy sound you've heard
You've got to remember, remember
