Lyrics

I wanna stand high in the Himalayas
Breeze on my face, readin' the Rigvedas
Take it back to the heart of it all
Before humanity became so cruel
Up high in the Himalayas
That sweet breeze on my face
Up high in the Himalayas
Cut the fast pace
Yeah
Modern day living's got me stressed
Hard to breathe, my chest heavy, compressed
I need a rest, some chillin' time
To calm the nerves, let my mind unwind
I find refuge on this vacant beach
My eyes are shut and the waves kiss at my feet
Start thinkin' 'bout the way we live
This fast-food life, take away quick fix of
Energy drinks, instant times
Reality shows and celebrities we idolise
Propaganda, ads and lies
Disguised so sweet, corrupt my eyes
Attack insecurities, bombard the being
Tricked to buy goods, really not needing
Breeding greed, seein' the greavin' world bleeding
You satisfied? Probably not, and what's the reason?
I wanna stand high in the Himalayas
Breeze on my face, readin' the Rigvedas
Take it back to the heart of it all
Before humanity became so cruel
Up high in the Himalayas
That sweet breeze on my face
Up high in the Himalayas
Cut the fast pace
Exploit mother earth and guess who cops it?
Your kids, their kids, it's all for profit
Look, I'm not a prophet, never claimed to be that
Or oracle that wants to rule, just care about this planet
And in particular our state of affairs
Ego's the chief and compassion too rare
You see, we're trapped, caged and locked
In these thirty-year loans, made another cog
In the system of frauds where currency's king
And connection to earth is known as some hippy thing
Surrounded by these concrete monstrosities
Driven by greed and worldwide economies
We're detached from the spirit soul
And weak our connection to the source of it all
I say we cut back, simplify life
Gaze off into a starlit sky
High in the Himalayas
Breeze on my face, readin' the Rigvedas
Take it back to the heart of it all
Before humanity became so cruel
Up high in the Himalayas
That sweet breeze on my face
Up high in the Himalayas
Cut the fast pace
Without tradition and ritual
We're unhinged, brooding, lost individuals
No community or brotherhood
And we become selfish, lonesome, backward
A loss of faith in culture
Creates a confused, bruised meal for vultures
We gotta get away, reassess, reflect
Far from the truth, infest the left
I wanna stand high in the Himalayas
Breeze on my face, readin' the Rigvedas
Take it back to the heart of it all
Before humanity became so cruel
Up high in the Himalayas
That sweet breeze on my face
Up high in the Himalayas
Cut the fast pace
