Text: Macy Gray. On How Life Is. The Letter.
All I ever wanted was some love and peace and harmony
I could dance in the raw in the sun underneath the stars
When I walk over to my money tree
Ain't nobody there tryin' to take from me
When they ask, "Are you truly free?" I'd say, "Yes, truly"
But down here in reality
Everybody knows there ain't no such thing
And it's clear, it's obviously
This is not the place I'm supposed to be
On and on and on I've searched
What I'm lookin' for is not here on earth
I can't stand, I can't take no more
So I know that I gotta go
So long everybody, Mama don't be sad for me
Life was a heartache and now I am finally free
Don't know where I'm headed, hope I see you someday soon
So long everybody, I have gone beyond the moon
All I ever wanted, love and the peace and the harmony
Just to be, to live and shine, when I get ready I up and fly
And I can't remember none of the things that I want to forget
It's the best satisfaction no less, ask if I'm free and I'll say, "Oh yes"
But down here in reality
Everybody knows there ain't no such thing
And it's clear, it's obviously
This is not the place I'm supposed to be
On and on and on I've searched
What I'm lookin' for is not here on earth
I can't stand, I can't take no more
So I know that I gotta go
So long everybody, Mama don't be sad for me
Life was a heartache and now I am finally free
Don't know where I'm headed, hope I see you someday soon
So long everybody, I have gone beyond the moon
Before I do, just one more look at you
It's worth the stay, but I'll meet you later at that better place
All I ever wanted was, all I ever wanted was
All I ever wanted, all I ever wanted was
So long everybody, Mama don't be sad for me
Life was a heartache and now I am finally free
Don't know where I'm headed, hope I see you someday soon
So long everybody, I have gone beyond the moon
So long everybody, Mama don't be sad for me
Life was a heartache and now I am finally free
Don't know where I'm headed, hope I see you someday soon
So long everybody, I have gone beyond the moon
So long everybody, Mama don't be sad for me
