    Lyrics:
    tired but searching for the answers
    tying myself down with all I find
    still purpose circles like a dancer
    but in my mind
    my spirit is with the breeze
    far from the things I used to know
    wild and free
    using the truth to let go
    serenity rests in me
    far from the things I used to know
    I found the strength to let it show
    I smile cause I know that it's okay
    I've got this love to help me slip away
    far from all the worry that defines you
    to live in truth
    the truth is in love
    in love there's a light
    the truth is in love
    there's love where it's right
    2x
    my spirit is with the breeze
    far from the things I used to know
    wild and free
    using the truth to let go
    serenity rests in me
    far from the things I used to know
    I found the strength to let it show

      Daryll Harris Couldn't agree more. First came across Moonchild a couple of years ago but for some inexplicable reason they slipped from my musical memory until today. Loving the latest work! Got a real feel of Robert Glasper, Erykah Badu - I just love it!

      Please forgive the late reply to this... but I am just now, over this past half year becoming acquainted with this truly amazing group. I had the exact same feeling that you did sir. I was SO astounded that I had to catch them at the 1st Los Angeles concert of theirs that I could.
      And I must say that, listening to her voice over those vibes drums AS WELL AS watching them break out the horns.... MAN... I am a very serious fan now.

      I saw them live in SF. TBH , not as good as the record. 2 keyboard players and a drummer, lead singer. Woulda been better with a bass player and maybe a guitarist.
