Lyrics
You're wondering on your mind
It's the one keystone people keep trying to find
The state of mind that puts you there
And evolutions everywhere
Is creeping back from the affair
So leave, leave, leave, leave your body behind
Leave, leave, leave, leave your body behind
Yes, yes, yes, you can always come back
To live the desire if you want on your track
Live the love, it gives its return
The higher you live it now, the purer it burns
So keep climbing, keep on climbing
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 in difference from the love
It's only habit, circumstance that fits you like a glove
Remember that we're calling in every cast of word
Is spoken in the voices of the holy sound you've heard
Got to remember, remember
Your form can move, your shape is composed of edges
Your form you can move, the edges are ridges of your own energy
Your own energy, your own energy, just emotion you feel
In your wondering, you search for this
Only highest existence, consciousness and bliss
By feeling more love for the sense world you're seeing
You raise your sense income and your level of being
By finer and finer and finer agreeing
You leave, leave, leave, leave your body behind
Leave, leave, leave, leave your body behind
Yes, yes, yes, attention comes back
You focus on anchors who have what you lack
Live the love, each thought form returns
Raised in the judgment of the ether that burns
So keep climbing, keep on climbing
Keep climbing, the sun fills so soon
And gathers the clouds into a heavenly moon
Remember, remember, why can't you remember
Remember we're bombarded, the downpour of the word
The outside meanings lock us in so all else seems absurd
Remember things regarded are terminals like you
Thought terminals discharge against each
Other and balance siphoning through
Got to remember, remember
Your form can move, your shape is composed of edges
Your form you can move, the edges are ridges of your own energy
Your own energy, your own energy, just emotion you feel
Make your body like dry wood, your heart like cool ashes
The light strains through your near closed
Eyes like ribbons through your lashes
It ripples down with your heart's clear
You're mixed into the voice that's here
The love you feel is love you hear
You leave, leave, leave, leave your body behind
Leave, leave, leave, leave your body behind
Remember, remember, remember, remember
