Singing Inner Guide with Dad playing guitar and my brother on the piano, a once in a decade family all-together performance of one of my Dad's best songs.
lyrics
Lyrics:
I found myself listening to the radio
I heard a voice inside my head,
He said; I am the master,
Listen to these words, they free you
Take a look, take a look out there.
(we sang) La la la, la la la, la la la, la la la
(we sang) La la la, la la la all night long
We built the fire, watch the flaming colours burn
He told the story of the secret of life
It was so clear, stars spread out across the sky
Illumination in the dead of the night
(we sang) La la la, la la la, la la la, la la la
(we sang) La la la, la la la all night long
Do do, doo doo doo doo, doo doo
Do do, doo doo doo doo
I had to ask, had so many different questions
Endless scenarios, all fighting for expression.
I wanna know this and I wanna know that
I wanna be the one who’s where it’s at
I wanna know this and I wanna know that
He said shut your mouth, be still.
La la la, la la la, la la, la la la
(we sang) La la la, la la la all night long
I found myself listening to the radio
I heard a voice inside my head,
He said; I am the master,
Listen to these words, they free you
Take a look, take a look out there.
(and sang) La la la, la la la, la la la, la la la
(he sang) La la la, la la la all night long.
He said be still, be quiet, be calm, be still
Be free, be love, be light, be easy
Just be, every moment, every hour
