Shangri-La
WookieFoot Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's a leap of faith it's just a leap of faith
If you want to find this place
You've got to take a leap of faith
A mind tied in knots can never believe
A hand in a fist clench can not receive
We're lifting up the veil to see
That it's always been just beneath the own to feet
And I'm gonna make it and your gonna make it too
Cause you got me and I got you

Shangri-La, Shangri-La
On the road to Shangri-La
Seek and you will find
When you look out of your mind
We all reunite at Shangri-La

In this hurricane of experience
You are the roots that I hold on to
And no storm shall ever break this foundation
Of this tribe that we belong to

And i'm gonna make it and you're gonna make it too
Cause you got me and I got you

I got you I got you I got you know that I got you
And I can see you get me too
The only way we make it through
I got you I got you I got you know that I got you
And I can see that you get me too
It's the only way we'll make it through to





Shangri-La!
