lyrics

Yay

​'arkness can't hide much longer
The spirit is getting stronger
You keep the dance halls hummin'
But the end of the age is comin'

I searched all around the world to find a place of truth
I opened the mouth of love and I found a wisdom tooth
Wo oh yeah

Maybe you think I'm plastic
Your situation's drastic
I made my faith is stronger
'Cause this world won't last much long

I searched all around the world to find a place of peace
I sat in the shade of God and I watched the joy increase
Wo oh wo-oh-oh ye-eh

There's no time left for stalling
Can't you hear someone calling
Life all around is crumbling
I think this world is stumbling
Maybe you think I'm wrong now
But this is my only song

Well I searched all around the world to find a grain of truth
I opened the mouth of love and I found a wisdom tooth
Ye-eh yeah
Well I've searched all around the world to find a place of peace
I sat in the shade of God and I watched the joy increase
Wo oh yeah
Well I've searched all around
I've searched all around
I've searched all around the world
And I don't know what I'm gonna do
But I have no plans outside of you
Well I've been looking up in the sky
Looking to see clearly the moon
I've been searching all around the world
Oh ??? I got no plans outside of you
Ah no no no no
I've searched all around, I've searched all around
I've been lonely by myself, lonely by myself
And I don't know what I'm gonna do
But I got no plans outside of you
​No
