State of Independence
JON ANDERSON VANGELIS Lyrics

State of life, may I live? May I love?
Asking for permission to live and love in this world.

Coming out the sky, I name me a name
A realization of one's identity as they arrive into this world.

Coming out-silver word-what it is
The expression of one's true self through the power of words.

It is the very nature of the sound the game
The use of language and communication as an innate aspect of the human experience.

Siamese, Indionese. To Tibet treat the life
Embracing the diversity of cultures and incorporating their teachings into one's life journey.

As a game, if you please (Hey)
Approaching life with a sense of playfulness and enjoyment.

Coming up, Carabi, this sense of freedom
Experiencing a sense of liberation as one moves forward through life.

Derives from a mediative state
Freedom attained through the practice of mindfulness and inner reflection.

Movin' on, 'believe' that's it, call it magic
Accepting the power of belief and the mystical energy that can be created through it.

Third world, it is, I only guessed it
An acknowledgement of the struggles and conditions present in developing nations.

Shablam idi shablam ida
Nonsensical yet rhythmic words used as a celebratory chant.

Shot to the soul-the flame of Oroladin
A spiritual awakening that transforms and reignites one's soul.

The essence of the word
The fundamental nature of language and the significance of individual words.

The 'state of independence'
A liberated state of being where an individual is free to express their true self.

Sounds like a signal from you
The way in which communication can transmit emotional signals.

Bring me to meet your sound
Connecting with someone on a deep emotional level through shared experiences and communication.

And I will bring you to my heart
A sense of openness and vulnerability in allowing others to enter one's emotional space.

Love like a signal you call
Love as a powerful and distinct feeling that is communicated between individuals.

Touching my body, my soul
Love having a profound impact on one's emotional and physical being.

Home be the temple of your heart
Viewing one's heart as a sacred place of self-love and acceptance.

Home be the body of your love
The physical embodiment of love and acceptance within oneself.

Just like holy water to my lips (hey, hey)
The restorative and healing properties of love and self-acceptance.

Yes I do know how I survive (yes I do know) know why I'm alive
Understanding one's innate ability to endure and thrive in difficult circumstances.

To love and be with you
The fundamental desire to love and form connections with others.

Day by day by day by day
The continual and sustained effort required to maintain healthy relationships and self-care.

Say-aye yaya oh (yayah yaya oh)
A nonsensical yet repeated chant used as an expression of celebration.

'be the sound of higher love' today (yayah) (hey, hey)
The transformative power of love to connect individuals and transcend physical boundaries.

Time, time again, it is said
The repetitive nature of lessons and teachings that are passed down through generations.

We will hear, we will see
An acknowledgement of the power of knowledge and the importance of learning throughout one's life.

See it all-in his wisdom-hear
The way in which knowledge and wisdom are interconnected and rely on both seeing and hearing.

His truth will abound the land
The eventual spread and impact of knowledge and truth throughout society.

This state of independence shall be
The eventual attainment of a liberated state of being for all individuals.
