[Verse 1: Nahko Bear]
G
Woke up this morning refreshed from the evening
G
Dreamin' 'bout all the homies I believe in
Em
I have so much time to think
F
I got sisters who are mothers and
C G
Brothers who are fathers to me
G
I was a young man, old man
G
Only a kid, man
G
And I was dreamin' 'bout that promised land
Em
But I was stuck in my dead-end town
F C G
Just a petty thief and I was waiting for the day of my release
[Bridge]
F C
Fa-da-ba-ba-ba-ba-da

Fa-da-ba-ba-ba-ba-da
[Verse 2: Nahko]
G
I saw the flash in your eye
G
Just as you arrived
G
Girl, you're so damn mysterious and sly
Em
Now, why am I not surprised?
F C G
Well if this is supposed to happen, then I'll just let it happen to me
G
Walkin' on solid ground
G
I found the face of the moon
G
He was smiling down on us singing his toothless tune
Em
He says, "my light luminates one love
F C G
So sing me to sleep and let those stars have their way with me tonight."
[Bridge]

Fa-da-ba-ba-ba-ba-da
Am C G

[Verse 3: Jeanna Dickerson]
G
I was a young girl, strong girl
G
A woman with girl
G
So you found me singing 'bout my love for this world
Em
Making big steps towards redemption
F C G
A medicine wheel and a gateway into the ocean
G
Movin' and shakin' 'bout
G
Got to clear my headlight
G
What are my intentions here?
Em
And are you ready for a ground-breaking way of bein'?
F C G
I'm talkin' off that grid and empowering a conscious way of living
[Bridge]
Am
Fa-da-ba-ba-ba-ba-da
Am C G
Fa-da-ba-ba-ba-ba-da
[Verse 4: Nahko]
G
My homies keep me in line
G
Keep me from strayin' off the wayside
G
I keep their pores tinglin' and their tongues tied
Em
And I'm learning how to cautiously rise
F C G
Against a disguise that legally refuses compromise
G
If I had things my way
G
I'd put some hope on your plate
G
I'm talkin' sauteed trust and an entree of faithful
Em
Oh, and eradicate all self-pity
F C G
You got a lot of work to do, so get busy, homie, go on get busy
(Get busy!)
