You're moving, keep climbimg. 
You're moving, keep climbimg. 
You're wonderin' 
(You're moving, keep climbimg.) 
What's on your mind 
(You're moving, keep climbimg.) 
It's the one keystone people keep trying to find 
(You're moving, keep climbimg.)

The state of mind that puts you there 
And evolution's everywhere, 
it's creeping back from the affair. 
So leave! Leave! Leave! 
Leave your body behind. 
Leave, Leave, Leave! 
Leave your body behind.

You can always come back 
To live the desire you want on your track 
Live the love that gives it's return 
The higher you're livin', now, the purer it burns. 
So keep climbin' 
(Ooo, that energy's higher) 
Keep on climbin' 
(Your sun catches on fire) 
Keep climbin' and bathe in the sun 
The dawns and the darkness 
Watch, the journey's begun 
Remember, remember, Why can't you remember? 
Remember that we're fallin' 
Indifference from the love 
It's only habit circumstance that fits you like a glove 
Remember, that we're callin' in every cast to learn 
It's spoken in the voices of the holy sound you earn 
You've got to remember, remember. 
You're form' can move, 
You're shape is composed of edges. 
You're form you can move, 
Edges and ridges of your own energy! 
Your own energy! 
Your own energy! 
Just a motion you feel. 
(You're moving, keep climbimg.) 
And you're wonderin' 
(You're moving, keep climbimg.) 
Who searched for this? 
(You're moving, keep climbimg.) 
Only higher resistant consciousness and bliss 
(You're moving, keep climbimg.) 
By feeling more love for the sense world you're seeing 
You raise sense your income and your level of being 
By finer and finer, 
And finer agreeing you Leave! 
Leave, Leave! 
Leave your body behind! 
Leave, Leave, Leave! 
Leave your body behind! 
Yes, yes, yes attention comes back 
You focus on anchors, 
You have what you lack. 
Live the love each thought form returns. 
Graze in the judgement of the ether that burns! 
So keep climbin' 
(Oh, your energy's higher!) 
Keep on climbin' 
(Your sun catches on fire!) 
Keep climbin' 
The sun fills so soon 
And gathers the clouds into a heavenly moon. 
Remember, remember, Why can't you remember? 
Remember we're bombarded, 
The downpour of the word. 
The outside means lock us in so all else seems absurd. 
Remember things regarding, 
Are terminals like you. 
For terminals discharge against each other, 
And balance syphoning through. 
You've got to remember! 
Remember! 
You're form' can move, 
You're shape is composed of edges. 
You're form you can move, 
Edges and ridges of your own energy! 
Your own energy! 
Your own energy! 
Just a motion you feel. 
(You're moving, keep climbimg.) 
(You're moving, keep climbimg.) 
And you're body and mind are one. 
(You're moving, keep climbimg.) 
Your heart like cool ashes, 
(You're moving, keep climbimg.) 
The life sprays through your nippled eyes 
Like ribbon through your lashes. 
It ripples down with your heart's clear 
you're mixed in two, 
The poisoned ear. 
The love you feel is love you hear. 
You leave! 
Leave! Leave! 
Leave your body behind! 
Leave! Leave! Leave! 
Leave your body behind! 
Remember, remember, remember, remember 
Keep on climbin' 
Keep on climbin'
