Lyrics: Transcendental meditation
Can emancipate the man
A get you feeling grand

Fusion of
The never changing wind
The ever changing wind
The never changing world
It's good, it's good, it's good, it's good, it's good

Transcendental meditation

Transcendental meditation
Can emancipate the man
And get you feeling grand
It's good
