 I see the people working / And see it working for them
 And so I want to join in / But then I find it happen

  Some say that knowledge is something sat
  Some say that knowledge is something that you

 I see the people happy / so can it happen for me
 Coz when I am unhappy / there's nothing that can move me

  Just when I think I'm king I must ad- mit (I just begin)
  Just when I think I'm king I just begin
 I've been doing that for years / My goal is moving near

  I got the break hey, I'm gonna take it all (I just begin)
  When I'm king just begin
 In my dome of ivory / A home of activity
 I want the answers quickly / But I don't have no energy
 I hold a cup of wisdom / But there is nothing within
 My cup she never overfloweth / And 'tis I that moan and groaneth
 From now on it is Abm7 // Gb6
 Some grey and white matter / Give me the Karma Mama
 I'm coming up the ladder
  Hey I'm coming up the ladder
 A jet to Mecca
 Up the ladder
 Tibet or Jeddah
 To Salisbury
 monastery
 The longest journey
 Across the desert
 Across the weathers
 Across the elements
 Across the water
