First In Flight (Feat. Gil Scott-Heron)

First in flight
First in flight
First in flight
'Cause all we got is rhythm and time
First in flight
We go beyond the edge of the sky

Free, like a bird out in the wind of the night
Like a 747 to L.A. up in flight
Free, like a garden flourishin' in the wind
Like a student bout to do it when he's graduatin'
Free, from any other energy perception
Can never be defined, create the definition within
Free, just lovin' life itself and never pretend to be
Anything other than the man I was meant to be
Travel through time and get a glimpse of the centuries
To come a better day is promised, remember Free
Like my nephew, in a few months about to be out the penitentiary
Meditation, meditation, meditation
Meditation, meditation, meditation, meditation, meditation

First in flight
'Cause all we got is rhythm and time
First in flight
We go beyond the edge of the sky
First in flight
'Cause all we got is rhythm and time
First in flight
We go beyond the edge of the sky

Uh, I never hesitate about a reluctant mind
Just put the pedal to the metal, see what you find
Your back is slouchin' over, won't you pick up your spine?
Let's make it really really happen, live up this time
'Cause you could choose to say "Good morning, God"
A good God mornin', with black clouds stormin'
I walk without umbrellas into these woods
Don't need it 'cause the mighty trees above will shelter me good
I'm eatin' berries from the bushes of the heavenly goods
Upon the stage the power came to us whenever we stood
Reverberatin' out and reachin' each and every hood
Whenever we could, the spiritual anatomy fool
But never take the credit for it because that'd be rude
It's just a way of life we searchin' for that had to be new
You gotta work it though 'cause every day ain't Saturday, fool
Evolve into a better life and be happy with you, and you'll be

First in flight
'Cause all we got is rhythm and time
First in flight
We go beyond the edge of the sky
First in flight
'Cause all we got is rhythm and time
First in flight
We go beyond the edge of the sky

The first to fly
The first to strive
The first to fight to stay alive
The first to win
The first to strive
The first to live
The first in flight

Rise, like the sun up at the crack of the dawn
Like a wakin' giant in the mornin' stretchin' and yawnin'
Rise, like an infant being held in the light
Like the smoke from an incense wood is ignited
Rise, if you're sleepin' won't you open your eyes again?
The greatest high be that natural high within
No need to force in the progression, just ride the wind
We know the answer to the where and the why and when
If you keep workin' for your search you will find the end
Though at the end you'll find it only begins again
See at the end you see it only begins again
And everything you learn you're only remembering, 'cause you're

First in flight
'Cause all we got is rhythm and time
First in flight
We go beyond the edge of the sky
First in flight
'Cause all we got is rhythm and time
First in flight
We go beyond the edge of the sky
First in flight
'Cause all we got is rhythm and time
First in flight
We go beyond the edge of the sky
First in flight
'Cause all we got is rhythm and time
First in flight
We go beyond the edge of the sky

Just be, let your mind and your soul be free
Work the shine, meet your goal, believe
Spread that kind of L-O-V-E
Take some time off the lonely
Just be, let your mind and your soul be free
Work the shine, meet your goal, believe
Spread that kind of L-O-V-E
Take some time off the lonely

'Cause all we got is rhythm and time
We go beyond the edge of the sky
'Cause all we got is rhythm and time
We go beyond the edge of the sky
'Cause all we got is rhythm and time
We go beyond the edge of the sky
