in the east
they can meditate
they can recreate the sound of OM
and bring us home
i think i'll go there someday
maybe for a holiday
maybe just light a candle
and take a seat for the ride

you don't need no money to fly
to truly fly away
you don't need no car to truly, truly ride
to truly ride away

in the west
we think we're the best
we've shown the whole wide world
that money is all we care for now
someday the scientists will see
there's no such thing as gravity
they'll all just light a candle
take a seat for the ride

you don't need no money to fly
to truly fly away
you don't need no car to truly, truly ride
to truly ride away

as you ascend in silence
all doubt behind thee
you reach the summit my friend
and find your destiny
