Lead and I'll follow, so many times before

There's too much barriers
|
Between you and I

Tho' we're both of the same kind
|
It's the same current that runs through our minds
|
So trap your egos' to mine.

Stop a while and keep your cool and

Listen to what I'm saying

Tho I know temptation strong
|
You'll reap the treasure of knowing
|
Then you'll start growing, growing, growing.

For all them shining precious stones
