From the recording Zen and the Art of Blackstrap Funk
Lyrics
My mind is flowin' like a waterfall
Like a brand-new day bein' born
I hit the streets like a cannonball
Ready to blow my horn
Tell you what, tell you why
First you laugh, and then you cry
First you walk, and then you fly
When you live, you never die
Goodness gracious, my oh my
Goodness gracious, my oh my
Love in my heart that I could share
Song I could sing most anywhere
Dream I could paint if I had a brush
House full of hearts like a royal flush
Tell you what, tell you why
First you laugh, and then you cry
First you walk, and then you fly
When you live, you never die
Goodness gracious, my oh my
Goodness gracious, my oh my
Walk with me down the road a while
See what we find around the bend
Got to give, if you want to live
So let's live, then do it all again
Tell you what, tell you why
First you laugh, and then you cry
First you walk, and then you fly
When you live, you never die
Goodness gracious, my oh my
Goodness gracious, my oh my
