Come with us and find

The pleasures of a journey to the center of the mind

Chorus:		
 A    C    C C B Bb A
Come along if you care

Come along if you dare
(A)                 C    C C         B   Bb   B
Take a ride to the land inside (1,2: of your mind)

Beyond the seas of thought
Beyone the realm of what
Across the streams of hopes 
and dreams where things are really not

So if you can, please understand
F#         B          (N.C.)
You might not come back

Verse 3 (note extra line):
How happy life could be
If all of mankind
Would take the time to journey 
to the center of the mind
 D                      E
Would take the time to journey 
to the center of the mind
Center of the mind (echo: the mind, the mind...)
