I feel a good sensation
And I been lifted child by your soul creation
Don't you stop just to look away
I want you to listen, child, to what I say

Don't you drift away too far
Out of sad times, of just exactly where you are
'Cause it's just too much the way I feel
I just can't believe that it's so for real

You have a strange desire
When you walk across the ground
Then you set the earth on fire

I feel good sensation
And I been lifted child by your sole creation
Don't you stop just to look away
I want you to listen, child, to what I say

C'mon, c'mon, won't you please, just a little bit
Won't you please, just a little bit closer

C'mon, c'mon
C'mon, c'mon
C'mon, c'mon
