The Secret of the World

I hopped on a plane
To find the holy way
Went to Stockholm, Hong Kong, Copenhagen, and Seoul

After I got back
I began to understand
How many things don't change wherever you go

Some people are nice
Others just wanna fight
Spicy food makes my eyes water and my nose run

And when something's wrong
I need to talk about it
Or else I just cannot get a single thing done

The secret of the world was in my yard
This whole time the secret of the whole world
Was in my yard

Why are we here
I think I found out why
It is to look way up into the night sky

And to listen to the voice
Speaking from where the stars shine
Saying you take after me you got my eyes

We are here to succeed
At failing miserably
Until we see we cannot do this alone

And that's something we
Can accomplish down the street
At the office or while working from home

Cause the secret of the world is in your yard
The secret of the world is right there
In your own back yard

The lines on my face
Are a map to a place
That nobody else ever has gone

I try to escape
But it's useless I always
End up finding myself right back here at home

Some people tell me
If you're serious about your music
You will need to move to Nashville or L.A.

I say hey thanks
But I already found my place
It's down the street from the park where I used to play

Cause the secret of the world was in my yard
The secret of the world was right there
In the back yard
Of my old house
This whole time
