[Verse]
Well I Ecan't control the Auniverse 'cause I'm Eonly a Aman
And EI may read the pAapers but it won't tell Dme who I Aam
And if you really Eneed a new Aphilosophy
Well here's Eone that makes Asense
The one DI proAfess 
[Chorus]
(I say) EHey AWhaEteveAr 
Let your Ebeauty come Aalive 
Let your Dcolour fill the Asky 
And Esay AwhaEteveAr 
Why don't you Eliberate your mAind? 
Let your Dcolour fill the Asky 
[Verse]
EAll the world's a Awaiting room and we're Estanding in Aline 
For the Eanswer to the Aquestion D'what makes me Asmile?'
C#mDon't let them change your story
CmDon't let them change your song
BmDon't let the gurus and philosophers A#mlead you on
AAh Ah BAh Ah C#mAh Ah DAh...
[Chorus]
(I say) EHey AWhaEteveAr 
Let your Ebeauty come Aalive 
Let your Dcolour fill the Asky 
And Esay AwhaEteveAr 
Why don't you Eliberate your mAind? 
Let your Dcolour fill the Asky 
[Bridge]
EIt's like taking a Aseat at the roulette table
EAnd just spinning the Awheel
EAnd good or bad you Atake what comes
It don't Dchange how you Afeel 
EIf you're a champion of Ascience 
or are you're a Efreak show Afool?
what Ecannot be Aproved can Dstill be Atrue 
[Final Chorus]
(I say) EHey AWhaEteveAr 
Let your Ebeauty come Aalive 
Let your Dcolour fill the Asky 
    N.C.
And say whatever 
N.C.
Why don't you liberate your mind? 
N.C.
Let your colour fill the sky 
F#Hey BWhaF#teveBr 
Let your F#beauty come Balive 
Let your Ecolour fill the Bsky 
And F#say BwhaF#teveBr 
Why don't you F#liberate your mBind? 
Let your Ecolour fill the Bsky
