On the road of experience
I’m trying to find my own way
Sometimes I wish that I could fly away
When I think that I’m moving
Suddenly things stand still
I’m afraid ‘cause I think they always will


CHORUS
                    F
And I’m looking for space
       G              C    Cmaj9
And to find out who I am
Am                 F(Barred)     Csus2   Cmaj9(Barrred)
And I’m looking to know and understand
       F     G     C      Cmaj9  Am
It’s a sweet sweet dream
F             G      C      Cmaj9
Sometimes I’m almost there
F           G           C   Cmaj9
Sometimes I fly like an eagle      and
F                     Csus2    Cmaj9
Sometimes I’m deep in despair


Verse 2:
All alone in the universe
Sometimes that’s how it seems
I get lost in the sadness and the screams
Then I look in the centre
Suddenly everything’s clear
I find myself in the sunshine and my dreams

On the road of experience
Join in the living day
If there’s an answer
