Notes
-
- Gospel-styled workout that doesn't seem to uplift as much as it should.
- The track does have its moments like the gospel-ese vocals on the chorus, the "Yes, I believe it" refrain, and ("Captain Keyboard" Daryl Dragon's ?) fine piano work.

People have you heard of the world plan
To know the inner nature of every man
Jesus came down to save the world from sin
Sayin' "Seek ye first the kingdom within"
Maharishi teaches us to meditate
To dive deep within come out and radiate
All of the saints through all creation
Sing the same song of revelation
I believe it (Dig deep if you know what I mean yeah)
(I believe him)
I believe it (Dig deep if you know what I mean now)
(In my heart)
I believe it (Dig deep if you know what I mean now)
(in my soul) (Dig deep if you know what I mean now)
I believe it (Dig deep if you know what I mean now)
(Zarathustra)???
I believe it (Dig deep if you know what I mean now)
(???)
I believe it (Dig deep if you know what I mean now)
(To believe)
I believe it (Dig deep if you know what I mean now)
(Way down inside)
I believe it
He came down down down down down down down
Yes I mean down down down down
Yes he did
>From the glorious kingdom
Hey-yon-du-coma-nauga-ton
Means avoid the suffering before it comes
Krishna said a long time ago
To "To let the arrow fly first pull back the bow"
Guru Dev's wisdom is just the thing...
To save mankind from all this suffering
Maharishi gives a lift to every man's bible
Bringin' us the news of the new revival
And I believe
I believe it (Dig deep if you know what I mean yeah)
(Yes I believe)
I believe it (Dig deep if you know what I mean now)
(In my heart)
I believe it (Dig deep if you know what I mean now)
(Yeah)
I believe it (Dig deep if you know what I mean now)
(I'm talking about people)
I believe it (Dig deep if you know what I mean now)
(in my soul) (Dig deep if you know what I mean now)
I believe it (Dig deep if you know what I mean now)
(To believe)
I believe it (Dig deep if you know what I mean now)
Men see, cries before the road
Say can a wall bleed
Ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo
Tell me life is over
It begins
Within my world
You've gotta believe it's so
(2-3-4-5-6-7)
Yes I believe it
Yes I believe it
Yes I beliiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeve
Ooh
He came down
To make me care for my home
Gave me a song
To help the sound of my own
Showed me the way
To get through every day
I thank you my Lord
For sending this man home
Mmmmmm
Oh oh oh oh
Yeah
Ohoh
Yeah
He came down
I believe it (oh yeah)
I believe it
I believe it (Down in my soul)
I believe it (Come and....my ...)
I believe it (Oh Lord this kingdom)
I believe it (To believe)
I believe it (Oh yes I believe)
I believe it (I'm talkin' about Jesus)
I believe it
I believe it (to believe)
