(Puerta - Pack)

I've heard them say the war is over
But here am I, out flyin' again
Who knows if I'm wrong or right
But when time has ended this flight
This koan of life will be at an end

When you're a kamikaze
Fly more from inspiration than for joy
Though they think I'm crazy
I'm really just an ordinary boy

I've heard them say that life is easy
Then why am I at zero again?
I drink from the sake cup
I leave when the rising sun's up
And take my fate and fear to the skies

When you're a kamikaze
Fly more from inspiration than for joy
Think I'm crazy
May be just an ordinary boy

've heard them say the war is over
But here am I, out flyin' again
Who knows if I'm wrong or right
But when time has ended this flight
This koan of life will be at an end

When you're a kamikaze
Fly more from inspiration than for joy
Think I'm crazy

Kamikaze I'm a kamikaze
Yes, I'm a kamikaze Oh A kamikaze

Ambrosia is a soft rock band from Los Angeles discovered in 1971 by Los Angeles Philharmonic conductor Zubin Mehta, who featured the group as part of an All-American Dream Concert (Pops concert). It took them another four years to get signed to a record contract.

Between 1975 and 1982, Ambrosia racked up five Grammy nominations, toured with Fleetwood Mac, Heart, and The Doobie Brothers, and scored five US top 40 hits including two top fives: “Biggest Part Of Me” and “How Much I Feel”.

The group split in 1982, but reunited in 1989 and has continued touring and releasing compilations of their old hits. In 2015, the group released a new single, “Hopes and Dreams”, which was featured in the Fox series The Sparrows.
