Lyrics

[Verse 1] I'm living in the material world Living in the material world Can't say what I'm doing here But I hope to see much clearer After living in the material world [Verse 2] I got born into the material world Getting worn out in the material world Use my body like a car Taking me both near and far Met my friends all in the material world [Verse 3] Met them all here in the material world John and Paul here in the material world Though we started out quite poor We got Richie on a tour Got caught up in the material world [Bridge] From the spiritual sky Such sweet memories have I To the spiritual sky How I pray Yes I pray That I won't get lost or go astray [Verse 4] As I'm fated for the material world Get frustrated in the material world Senses never gratified Only swelling like a tide That could drown me in the material world [Guitar and Saxophone Solos] [Bridge] From the spiritual sky Such sweet memories have I To the spiritual sky How I pray Yes I pray That I won't get lost or go astray [Verse 5] While I'm living in the material world Not much giving in the material world Got a lot of work to do Try to get a message through And get back out of this material world [Verse 6] I'm living in the material world Living in the material world I hope to get out of this place By the Lord Sri Krishna's grace My salvation from the material world
