I went picking up in my memory (Picking up, Picking up)
I went picking up in my memory (Picking up, Picking up)
I said oh great spirit Picking up picking up Come back for me (Gathering and gathering) I went picking up
(Bits and pieces)
Gathering and gathering
And there, there, there they lie
Bits and pieces
Lying down ground all around
Come back for me
Bits and pieces
Come back for me
I had to put them together again
Don’t forsake me
Please don’t leave me
Here I feel so all alone
Come back
So all around
Spirit come back
So need to be
Oh, oh,
Often times I’m in such a, oh, place a wonder 
So wonderful
Been rush in a storm
Oh, loud be the thunder
Come back for me
Great spirit
The keeper of humanity’s love
Come back come back come back
Come back
Oh, and guide me along the way
Guide me futuristically
Come back for me
See me through
See me through
What a brain
What a brain could do
See, see, see, see, see me through
Hey, hey can I say where they laid you down 
Our busy winds scattered you around
and sow you like seeds in the wind
Over again
To a dustly degree
And now you are the dust speck of the Universe 
For the wonders of
One day I will be
Come back for me
Come, come back for me Come back for me
Back, back, back
Now play it there
Play it there
Play it there brother Give them some love 
Bring it down
Bring it down
Bring it down
Coming to the ground Come back for me 
Dwell in me
Come back for me, spirit
Come back
Great spirit of love
Protect me
Great spirit of love
Guide me
Be for me
Hey, hey
Oh, Oh, oh
Be with me
Oh, Oh
Before they lay me down
Before they put this body of mine in the ground
Come back for me
From mountain high
Down to valley low
Down to the bottom of the ocean floor 
Come back
Come back
Come back for me Great spirit of love 
Come back for me
Great spirit 
Great spirit 
Great spirit
