i’m going to a place
D# F#
thoughts can’t follow me
down to a quiet space
where my mind is free
free from all suffering
free from my own name
and when i’m there i know
we are all the same

xi’m going to a place
older than the sun
darkness within itself
where we all come from
death has no power here
love is all there is
darkness within itself
do you remember this

intro : 2

xchorus : ( guitar same as in the verse )
remember , remember
it has always been
the kingdom , the kingdom
of god lies within
hold to the center
beyond time and space
gotta find a sacred place
everybody’s got a sacred place
gotta find . . . ( last 2 lines 2x )

solo : 2

xi’m going to a place
i know it by heart
and there i know that we’ll
never be apart
words do not matter here
time is just a friend
light shining from itself
light without end

intro : 2

xi saw a photograph
of a speeding train
and when it leaves i now
know it will remain
a candle is burning bright
here beside my bed
thank you for teaching me
