First in flight
First in flight
First in flight
('Cause all we got is rhythm and timin')
First in flight
(We go beyond the edge of the sky)
Free, like a bird out in the wind in the night
Like a 747 to L.A. that's in flight
Free, like a garden flourishin' in the wind
Like a student bout to do it when he's graduatin'
Free, from any of the energy perception
Can never be defined create the definition within
Free, just lovin' life itself and never pretend to be
Anything other than the man I was meant to be
Travel through time and get a glimpse of the centuries
To come a better day is promised remember
Free, like my nephew in a few months
About to be out the penitentiary
Meditation, meditation, meditation
Meditation, meditation, meditation
Meditation, meditation, meditation
First in flight
('Cause all we got is rhythm and timin')
First in flight
(We go beyond the edge of the sky)
First in flight
('Cause all we got is rhythm and timin')
First in flight
(We go beyond the edge of the sky)
Uh, I never hesitate about a reluctant mind
Just put the peddle to the metal see what ya find
You back there slouchin' over won't you pick up your spine?
Let's make it really really happen live up this time
'Cause you can choose to say, "Good mornin' God" or
"Good God, mornin'" with black clouds storming
I walk without umbrellas into these woods
Don't need 'em 'cause the mighty trees will shelter me good
I'm eatin' berries from the bushes of the Heavenly good
From the stakes the power came to us whenever we stood
Reverberatin' out we're reachin' each and every hood
Whenever we could the spiritual anatomy fool
But never take the credit for it because that'd be rude
It's just the way in life we searchin' for that had to be new
You gotta work it though 'cause everyday ain't Saturday fool
Evolve into a better life and be happy with you, you and me
First in flight
('Cause all we got is rhythm and timin')
First in flight
(We go beyond the edge of the sky)
First in flight
('Cause all we got is rhythm and timin')
First in flight
(We go beyond the edge of the sky)
The first to fly
The first to strive
The first to fight to stay alive
The first to win
The first to strike
The first to live
The first in flight
Rise, like the sun up at the crack of the dawn
Like a wakin' child in the mornin' stretchin' and yawnin'
Rise like an infant bein' held in the light
Like the smoke from an incense when it's ignited
Rise if you're sleepin' won't you open your eyes again
The greatest high be that natural high within
No need to force the progression just ride the wind
You'll know the answer to the where and why and when
If you keep workin' for your search you will find the end
Though at the end you find it only begins again
See at the end you'll see it only begins again
And everything you learn you're only rememberin' 'cause you're
First in flight
('Cause all we got is rhythm and timin')
First in flight
(We go beyond the edge of the sky)
First in flight
('Cause all we got is rhythm and timin')
First in flight
(We go beyond the edge of the sky)
First in flight
('Cause all we got is rhythm and timin')
First in flight
(We go beyond the edge of the sky)
First in flight
('Cause all we got is rhythm and timin')
First in flight
(We go beyond the edge of the sky)
It's me, let your mind and your soul be free
Work to shine meet your goal believe
Spread that kind of L O V E
Take some time off the lonely
Let your mind and your soul be free
Work to shine meet your goal believe
Spread that kind of L O V E
Take some time off the lonely
'Cause all we got is rhythm and timin'
We go beyond the edge of the sky
'Cause all we got is rhythm and timin'
We go beyond the edge of the sky
'Cause all we got is rhythm and timin'
We go beyond the edge of the sky
'Cause all we got is rhythm and timin'
We go beyond the edge of the sky
