Your Mind Has Left Your Body
Composer(s): Paul Kantner
Performer(s): Paul Kantner



You have left your body
Be aware if you care
Your mind has left your body
And for this one moment you are
Under the polar ice cap
In a place we call home
How is it there white bear
Like that
Where you grow...

Now all of you come back to here and now
Elsewhen to there
Move on out the other way
Where...
Do you find yourself
Floating, growing, there

Riders of the rainbow
Let it grow, let it grow

You can exercise your mind
On where you want to go
And you can see the city lights flashin'
Two thousand miles below you
You can feel the sands of Zanzibar
Or pierce the nearest sun
Find out what and who you are
And if you need to run

Riders of the rainbow
Let it grow, let it grow
Riders of the rainbow
Let it grow, let it grow

There is one moment in your life
And it can come at any time
And you remember all of what went on
From the instant you were born
Through your early years

And if you can fasten on that moment
And expand through the afterglow
You can reverse your mind in time
And travel back to when
The earth was formed
The sky was born
And the universe began

Riders of the rainbow
Let it grow, let it grow

You have left your body
Return when you may
Save it for another day, beyond you
