Long Way 'Round

Hmm-mm-mm, ooh-ooh
Ooh-yeah, ooh-ooh

Oh I went down the other day
To see what the gypsy had to say
She offered me a piece of advice

She said, ooh child whatcha gonna do?
You been looking mighty blue so
I'm a tell you a secret about life, yeah

It's two steps up and one step back
It's forward progress, you won't collapse

Woohoo, yeah you're gonna pull through
Woohoo, yeah you're gonna pull through
Woohoo, sometimes it's the long way around
You gotta get lost, to get found

She said, ooh child you know you stand
On the shoulders of everyone, oh
Who would not go down without a fight, mm ah

Oh, in times like these
Life is a mystery
Just keep walking with the light

So keep those flowers in your hair (ooh)
And those stars in your eyes
We all fall down, but then we rise (ooh)

Woohoo, yeah you're gonna pull through
Woohoo, yeah you're gonna pull through
Woohoo, sometimes it's the long way around
You gotta get lost, to get found

Problems might appear
Closer in the rear view mirror
You gotta let 'em go, let 'em go (ooh)

If there's any spirits out there
Listening on the wind
Oh I, I think I hear something
You're gonna love to live again, ooh

Woohoo, yeah you're gonna pull through
Woohoo, yeah you're gonna pull through
Woohoo, sometimes it's the long way around
You gotta get lost, to get found

Woohoo, yeah you're gonna pull through
Woohoo, said you're gonna pull through
Woohoo, sometimes it's the long way around
Oh, you gotta get lost, to be found

Woohoo, oh-ooh
Woohoo, ooh
Woohoo, sometimes it's the long way around
You gotta get lost, to get found
