If I could walk upon the stones,
Feel the earth beneath my toes,
Oh oh,
Drop the bread, and shed these clothes,
And live how the wildflower grows,
Oh oh,
I can see,
Some kind of mystery,
I believe in something,
I believe,
And if tomorrow never comes,
Blessed be the righteous one,
Oh oh,
Don't worry about the days to come,
Where you've been or what you've done,
oh, oh,
I can see,
Some kind of mystery,
I believe in something,
I believe,
Oh,
Whoa whoa,
Oh,
Whoa whoa,
One, two, three, one, ow!
Help me make a change,
Help me get my life together,
Been too many days,
I haven't stopped to enjoy the weather,
Help me make a change,
Help me stay that way forever,
Get me on my way,
Get me to be just a little better,
I can see,
Some kind of mystery,
Yeah,
I believe,
In something,
I believe
(Ooooo's)
So focus on who you become,
So you can be a righteous one,
Oh.
