Main Rhthym (muted)

I was a curious boy with a wandering mind
on a hungry search undefined
in a rigid school full of concrete thought,
a structured day and all that brought

Main Rhthym (muted)

Logic ground in repeatable facts
my big energy faded back
They gave me far less than they stole
they packed my head and they drained my soul

Main Rhthym (muted)

It was an instant lift, my mind grew light
a lucid dream of a graceful flight
Just one push and I learned to fall
into the arms of the energy that voiced my call

Guitar Fill 1 (2x)

Main Rhthym (muted)

Now each dream is an epitome
a beautiful dream of a permanent home
I'm a timeless entity cloaked in skin,
the eye of the universe turning in

Guitar Fill 2

Main Rhthym (muted)

And it's all between my ears
I know my way to a magic sphere
A clear internal path I take
when I close my eyes and fall awake

(Last verse Acapella with some open notes)

It's a world too dense with material toys
and signals laced with a lot of white noise
But there's a place in me that scientists
can't explain so they just dismiss...

get pissed, and resist, I summon, Kenny Loggins. You can't see it right now, 
but the entire balcony is filled with Kenny Loggins.

===================
Transcriber's Notes
===================

Mute the main rhythm during the verses. If you opt to not play the outro
Kenny Loggins Cut Loose tribute, you can either fade out with the following
Kenny Loggins rhythm (just like the album) or you play the Main Rhythm once 
and then end the song with harmonics at the 12th fret.
