[Verse]
What time is it?
How long has it been?
Bubbles and ripples floating through my mind
I must have drifted away
Since I sat down
Where have I been?
The mantra, my mantra must have took me away
It must have took me away
Maharishi gave it to me
And I wonder if it set me free
And it did
And he'll tell you
"sometimes it goes real fast
And other times it goes real slow
Any way you do it it's bound to work I know"
One, two, three, four
[Outro]
Transcendental meditation should be part of your time
It's simple, it's easy as making this rhyme
Transcendental meditation really works for me good
More, much more than I thought it would
What time is it?
How long has it been?
Bubbles and ripples floating through my mind
I must have drifted away
Since I sat down
Where have I been?
The mantra, my mantra must have took me away
It must have took me away
Maharishi gave it to me
And I wonder if it set me free
And it did
And he'll tell you
"sometimes it goes real fast
And other times it goes real slow
Any way you do it it's bound to work I know"
One, two, three, four
[Outro]
Transcendental meditation should be part of your time
It's simple, it's easy as making this rhyme
Transcendental meditation really works for me good
More, much more than I thought it would
