I met a stranger along the way, his coat was torn but his eyes were clear. Standing in a slide zone, step-pin' in a slide zone. He told me where a river flows, he showed me how the apple grows. He told me of a magic street, his face was worn but his eyes were clear. Standing in a slide zone, I could be step-pin' in a slide zone. Standing in a slide zone, I could be step-pin' through a time zone. He went to find a shooting star, around the bend that's where they are. I went along just for the ride, suddenly I began to smile. Standing in a slide zone, I could be step-pin' through a time zone. The air raced by,there was no sound, we're drifting high above the ground. And then he said "you will know this place",and then a smile lit up his face. Standing in a slide zone, I could be step-pin' in a slide zone. Standing in a slide zone, I could be step-pin' through a time zo-o-o-one.

Suddenly I began to fall, I looked around and I tried to call. ( ) Standing in a slide zone, he had me step-pin in a time zone. Standing in a slide zone, walking through a time zone. Help me please I thought I said, did something happen in my head? The music came from all around, and I knew what I had found. Standing in a slide zone, walk-ing through a time zone. Step-pin'in a slide zone, he had me walk-ing through a time zo-o-o-one.
