Dear Creator: Just as all Creation is as one with the Universe, may we too be one with each other.- Stevie Wonder
State of life, may I live, may I love
coming out the sky, I name me a name
coming out silver word for what it is
it is very nature of the sound, the game
Shablamidi, shablamida
shablamidi, shablamida
shablamidi, shablamida
Siamese, Indonese, to Tibet treat the life
as a game, if you please (hey)
coming up Caribee such a freedom
derives from a meditative state
movin' on, believe that's it, call it magic
third world, it is, I only guessed it
Shablamidi, shablamida
shablamidi, shablamida
shablamidi, shablamida
Shablimidi, shablamida
shablimidi, shablamida
shablimidi, shablamida
Shot to the soul the flame of Oroladian
(the) essence of the word
the state of independence
Sounds like a signal from you
bring me to meet your sound
and I will bring you to my heart
Love, like a signal you call
touching my body, my soul
bring to me, you to meet me here
Home, be the temple of your heart
home, be the body of your love
just like holy water to my lips
(hey, hey)
Yes, I do know how I survive
yes, I do know why I'm alive
to love and be with you
day by day by day by day
Time, time again, it is said
we will hear, we will see
see it all in His wisdom hear
His truth will abound the land
this truth will abound the land
this state of independence shall be
this state of independence shall be
Say, yeah -e-yay, yeah-e-yo
yeah-e-yay, yeah-e-yo...
be the sound of higher
love today
yeah-e-yeah (hey, hey)
Time, time again, it is said
we will hear, we will see
see it all in His winsdom hear
His truth will abound the land
this truth will abound the land
this state of independence shall be
this state of independence shall be
this state of independence shall be
this state of independence shall be
this state of independence shall be
I have always been an atheist, from the first recollections of childhood, but as time passed I began to think of becoming an anti-theist, like Christopher Hitchens - someone who actively seeks to abolish religion and religious belief because of all the harm it causes, but if that were ever accomplished, and all the myths and illogical hatreds were eradicated, it would mean Donna Summer's State of Independence would no longer exist - and that is too steep a price.

I am a big fan of Yes. Jon Anderson and Van gelis did this great. But if someone does a cover they need to take the song, make it their's and own it. Donna Summers did this.
