[Chorus: Ndugu and Erykah Badu]
Take some time to let your feelings flow free
(Take some time to let your feelings show)

Let your feelings flow free
You can't hide away from what you need, yeah
(You can't hide, you can't hide)
Way back, Search the skies, a new horizon

A new horizon to unfold
Set yourself on the oceans of dreams to behold
