Lyrics
I KNOW A PLACE
I know a place where compassion is true
Where the foot is always in the other shoe
Where all your illusions are left behind
And what you really need you find
I know a place
Don?t you know
I know a place
If you have faith
Close your eyes
Climb inside
To that place
I know a place where the sun don?t dim
Where the light shines on the mess you?re in
Where all your dark scenes come to a close
And every flower in the garden glows
I know a place
Don?t you know
I know a place
The C.I.A.
Can?t follow you
You?d love them to
Go with you
To that place
I know a place there?s no space or time
I know a place and it?s in my mind
I know a place where no sorrow flows
I know a place
Have you heard
Peace on earth
Can occur
I know a place
It may feel strange
But you can change
I know a place
I know a place where the laugh is truth
Where poet?s don?t have to jump off the roof
Rich man poor man beggar man thief
Our masks are beyond belief
But I know a place
Don?t you know
I know a place
If you have faith
Close your eyes
Take a ride to that place
I know a place
