We were talking-about the space between us all
And the people-who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion
Never glimpse the truth-then it's far too late-when they pass away

We were talking-about the love we all could share-when we find it
To try our best to hold it there-with our love
With our love-we could save the world-if they only knew

Try to realise it's all within yourself
No-one else can make you change
And to see you're really only very small
And life flows on within you without you

We were talking-about the love that's gone so cold and the people
Who gain the world and lose their soul
They don't know-they can't see-are you one of them?

When you've seen beyond yourself-then you may find
Peace of mind is waiting there
And the time will come when you see we're all one
And life flows on within you and without you
