I heard about a man, walkin´ on the water He had hope in his eyes He didn´t wear a crown or have any money He didn´t have any lies
He had holes in his pockets He had holes in his hands He looked like an outlaw talkin´ to his lover
He was a spiritual man
I wanna be a prince, not a king or a warrior I wanna have a special light in my eyes Wanna climb up a mountain, find a tree of wisdom I wanna feel good when I cry
And maybe someday I could be a teacher I want that karma when you touch my hand I´ll walk through the streets, Talking to the homeless in winter
I wanna be a spiritual man, yeah
I heard about a man who was born in the desert He rode for days and nights across the sand And one day, he came upon an angel The angel said, "Hey you, you´re gonna be a spiritual man!"
Instrumental Break
Last night I saw a man walkin´ toward a club in Harlem He had a black case in his hands Went through the back door and pulled out his gold companion He closed his eyes and played all night LONG like a self-taught spiritual man
