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!"



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
