State Of Independence - Lyrics

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 very nature of the sound, the game

Shablamidi, shablamida
shablamidi, shablamida
shablamidi, shablamida

Siamese, Indonese, to Tibet
treat the life
as a game, if you please (hey)
coming
up Caribee such a freedom
derives from a meditative
state
movin' on, believe that's it, call it
magic
third world, it is, I only guessed it

Shablamidi, shablamida
shablamidi, shablamida
shablamidi, shablamida

Shablimidi, shablamida
shablimidi, shablamida
shablimidi, shablamida

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, yeah-e-yo...
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 winsdom 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
