Jon Anderson/Vangelis)



State of life, may I live, may I love

Coming out of the sky I name me a name

Coming up silver word for what it is

It is the very nature of the sound of the game



Siamese, Indonese to Tibet

Treat the life as a game if you please

Coming up Caribbean sense of freedom

Derives from a mediative state



Moving on, believe that's it

Call it magic Third World

It is, I only guessed it

Shah blam ee dee

Shah blam ee dah



Shot to the soul

The flame of Aura'ladin

The essence of the word

The state of independence



Sound like a signal from you

Bring me to meet your sound

And I will bring you to my heart



Love like a signal you call

Touching my body, my soul

Bring to me, you to meet me here

Home be the temple of your heart

Home be the body of your love

Just like holy water to my lips



Yes, I do know how I survive

Yes, I do know why I'm alive

To love and be with you

Day by day by day by day



Say yea yea yea yo

Yea yea yea yo

Be the sound of higher than today



Time again it is said we will hear

We will see it all in this wisdom here

This truth will abound the land

The state of independence shall be
