Start of a week, start of an age
Start of a book, it's the start of a page
Start up the engine, run it straight in the maize
I'm corny as hell so I'm steppin on stage
Locate the key I unlock the cage
Can't keep me locked down I'm on my own phaze
I'm rockin it straight through the maze cos I can't be tamed
Breaking through the brickwalls all covered in flames
Sometimes you feel like you're going against the grain
Swimming upstream like a salmon in autumn
It's okay to have bad days if you sort 'em
They're costly to accept but you can afford 'em
Like the leaves falling down
You reach out but you never caught 'em
You gotta figure it out for yourself what is really important
Make up your mind on your morals before you enforce 'em
Before conforming
Conditioning begins before you're even born
And continues to the day that you are gone
So like a stick in a storm yeah
Insignificant but beautiful
Unique but uniform
Go with the flow like a river
Instead of going against the grain
The path of least resistance is easier to maintain
In the beat of life you feel the rhythm
And your heart always feels the same
If you follow your intuition
You'll have your place yeah
I must feed my soul and fulfil my goals
What I'm leaving behind made this a difficult road
A different life that would have been nice
I could see myself growing old in paradise
Raising a family there and living on the land
But to be honest that was never my plan
Well at least not now probably when I was an older man
To be realistic that's not the only space I can
Here I am blessed and fortunate
With plans and options the world is my oyster yep
Gonna live out these dreams and enjoy this shit
The way my dad encouraged and always said
Its time to evolve
So i'm gonna take it slow
It was a hard decision
But inside I know
Go with the flow like a river
Instead of going against the grain
The path of least resistance is easier to maintain
In the beat of life you feel the rhythm
And your heart always feels the same
If you follow your intuition
You'll have your place yeah
Yes indeed my people a new dawn a new day
A new vision a new energy and way
I step outside to live and grasp it
Fulfilling these dreams while stumblin' and laughin'
Here's a valuable lesson it's always worth askin'
And another one you gotta work hard in
Anything you want to achieve enjoy and bask in
Success doesn't come easy and it doesn't always last then
Don't overlook the journey that's life itself
Live for experiences not materials and wealth
Accommodate to your soul mind body and health
The rest will filter itself out and that's what it's about
Outside influences will sometimes distract
It's up to you how you move and react
Goin' with the flow should be easy you know
It's all about bein' present and just letting go
Go with the flow like a river
Instead of going against the grain
The path of least resistance is easier to maintain
In the beat of life you feel the rhythm
And your heart always feels the same
If you follow your intuition
You'll have your place yeah
