[Verse 1]
I'm living in the material world
Living in the material world
Can't say what I'm doing here
But I hope to see much clearer
After living in the material world

[Verse 2]
I got born into the material world
Getting worn out in the material world
Use my body like a car
Taking me both near and far
Met my friends all in the material world

[Verse 3]
Met them all here in the material world
John and Paul here in the material world
Though we started out quite poor
We got Richie on a tour
Got caught up in the material world

[Bridge]
From the spiritual sky
Such sweet memories have I
To the spiritual sky
How I pray
Yes I pray
That I won't get lost or go astray
[Verse 4]
As I'm fated for the material world
Get frustrated in the material world
Senses never gratified
Only swelling like a tide
That could drown me in the material world

[Guitar and Saxophone Solos]

[Bridge]
From the spiritual sky
Such sweet memories have I
To the spiritual sky
How I pray
Yes I pray
That I won't get lost or go astray

[Verse 5]
While I'm living in the material world
Not much giving in the material world
Got a lot of work to do
Try to get a message through
And get back out of this material world

[Verse 6]
I'm living in the material world
Living in the material world
I hope to get out of this place
By the Lord Sri Krishna's grace
My salvation from the material world
