in the east they can meditate They can recreate the sound of all and bring us home I think I'll go there some day Maybe for a holiday Maybe just light a candle, take a seat for the ride And you don't need no money to fly, to truly fly away (recreate the sound of all) And you don't need no car to truly ride, truly ride away (recreate the sound of all) In the west we think we're the best We've shown the whole wide world that money is all we care for 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 And you don't need no money to fly, to truly fly away (recreate the sound of all) And you don't need no car to truly ride, truly ride away (recreate the sound of all) As you ascend in silence, all doubt behind you You reach the summit my friend and find your destiny And you don't need no money to fly, to truly fly away (recreate the sound of all) And you don't need no car to truly ride, truly ride away (recreate the sound of all) And you don't need no money to fly, to truly fly away (recreate the sound of all) And you don't need no car to truly ride, truly ride away (recreate the sound of all) To truly ride away
