Lyrics
There's a place, where the mind doesn't matter
I can feel it deep inside and I want to be there
You don't care about power and money
When you're down in the center, and your soul is laid bare
And I know ...
I wanna be down in the center, I wanna be down in the center, yeah
Lord take me please ... down to the center
There was a time when I fought for survival
Food and shelter were the tools of my trade
And I've had friends, I've had power and money
Never missed at thing, but I was always afraid
'Cause I knew ...
I'd never be down in the center, No I'd never be down in the center, no
Lord take me please ... down to the center
On the road to peace and salvation
Take the wrong turn, and trouble's waiting there
But happiness lives, I can feel it inside of me
Down in the center, where my soul is laid bare
And I wanna be down in the center, I'm gonna be down in the center, yeah
Lord take me please ... down to the center ... of my soul.
