State of Independence
State of life
May I live
May I love
Coming out the sky
I name me a name

Coming out silver
Word for what it is
It is the very nature of the sound
The game

To Tibet
Treat the life
As a game
If you please, hey

Coming up Caribee
Such a freedom
Derives from a meditative state
Moving on
Believe that's it
Call it magic
Third world
It is
I only guessed it

Shot to the soul
The flame of Oroladian
The essence of the word
The state of independence
Sounds 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
Hey, hey

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

Time, time again
It is said
We will hear
We will see
See it all in His wisdom hear
His truth will abound the land
This truth will abound the land

This state of independence shall be
This state of independence shall be

Say
Yeah-e-yay
Yeah-e-yo
Yeah-e-yay

Be the sound of higher love today
Yeah-e-yeah
(Hey, hey)

Time, time again
It is said
We will hear
We will see
See it all in His wisdom hear

His truth will abound the land
This truth will abound the land

This state of independence shall be
This state of independence shall be

This state of independence shall be
This state of independence shall be
This state of independence shall be
