                            Eb              
Light as a feather when I'm floating through
Ab                            
Reading through the daily news
              Bbm                        
Measuring the hurt within the golden rule
                     Ebm             Eb7    
Centimetres of ether I'm heating the speaker
Ab                        Bbm                   
Motivational teacher with words that burn people
           Ebm                         
Seeing the headlines lined with discord
     Ab                     Bbm             
It's either genocide or the planet in uproar
Db                                             
Never good the rules of paradise are never nice
Ab                     Bbm                         
The best laid plans of Mice and Men are never right
                    Ebm                      
I'm just a Vagabond with Flowers for Algernon
   Ab                    Bbm                      
An Average Joe who knows what the fuck is going on
                    Ebm                        
It's the hope of my thoughts that I travel upon
Ab                   Bbm                      
Fly like an arrow of God until I'm gone so I'm
                     Eb         Eb7
Drifting away like a feather in air
           Ab                      Bbm                 
Letting my words take me away from the hurt and despair
                           Eb              
So I'm keeping it vertical forever elevator
Ab                      Bbm                                   
Riding the escalator to reach something that is greater so I'm
                     Db            
Drifting away like a feather in air
           Ab                Bbm                      
Letting my soul take me away from the hurt and despair
                           Eb7             
So I'm keeping it vertical forever elevator
Ab                      Bbm                            
Riding the escalator to reach something that is greater
       Db           Ebm                    
Taking chances word tap dancing with wolves
      Ab                  Bbm                 
In an ice arena out there deep in the woods of
                   Ebm                        
Arizona the sun be high life's ironic ain't it

Ab                      Bbm                         
Watchin' propaganda six o'clock news and it's saying

Cultures clash poor black folk and white trash
Ab                Bbm                             
They revel in the cyberspace that might crash dash
Db              Ebm                     
To millennium a million miles of running
Ab                       Bbm                 
At the speed of now back don't return gunning
Db                              
Rambo style gungho child gunning
Ab            Bbm                
Ammo blao two times loud stunning
                       Db

This shit might happen but it does they go


[Chorus]

Drifting away like a feather in air
           Ab                      Bbm                 
Letting my words take me away from the hurt and despair

So I'm keeping it vertical forever elevator
Ab                            Bbm                          Db 
Riding the escalator to reach something that is greater so I'm
                     Db            
Drifting away like a feather in air

[Verse]
                                           Ebm         
Treat you better than me 'cause that's the heavenly key
   Ab                              Bbm               
To unlock the inner strength where my essence will be
                       Db                                     Ab
It's the knowledge and selfunderstanding of the things around me
                 Bbm               
That becomes the wisdom that I need
Db                      Ebm               
Living this life to the best of my ability
Ab                      Bbm                     
Channeling energy to my thoughts attain symmetry
                       Eb7              
Remember me Because my prose remain gold
  Ab                            Bbm            
I got the gift of gab like them pimps in Kangol
                        Ebm                  
It never ends I keep it rolling like a cypher
    Ab                     Bbm 
The first caveman bringing fire
                                Eb       Eb7             
Innovating and higher to plasma states I raise the stakes
Ab                             Bbm         
It's double or nothing in this vacuum space
Db             Ebm                   
I will survive divine the time to cry
Ab                      Bbm             
Fuck a hold or hide I'm alive with pride
                             Db  
And I drove the Chevy to the Levy
                 Ab                           Bbm           
But the Levy was dry singing This will be the day that I die
