Long Way 'Round

Hmm-mmm
Ooh
Ooh-aah
Ooh, ooh-mmm

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, whatchu gonna do
You've been lookin' mighty blue, so
I'ma tell you a secret about life"
Yeah, yeah

It's two steps up
And one step back
It's forward progress
You won't collapse

Ooh-ooh, yeah, you're gonna pull through
Ooh-ooh, yeah, you're gonna pull through
Ooh-ooh, sometimes it's the long way 'round
You gotta get lost to get found

She said, "Ooh, child, you know you stand
On the shoulders of every woman
Who would not go down without a fight
Mmm-ahm, oh, in times like these, life is a mystery
Just keep walkin' with the light"

So keep those flowers in your hair
And the stars in your eyes
We all fall down
But then we rise

Ooh-ooh, yeah, you're gonna pull through
Ooh-ooh, yeah, you're gonna pull through
Ooh-ooh, sometimes it's the long way 'round
You gotta get lost to get found

Problems might appear
Closer in the rearview mirror
You gotta let 'em go
Let 'em go

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

Ooh-ooh, yeah, you're gonna pull through
Ooh-ooh, yeah, you're gonna pull through
Ooh-ooh, sometimes it's the long way 'round
You gotta get lost to get found

Ooh-ooh, yeah, you're gonna pull through
Ooh-ooh, sis, you're gonna pull through
Ooh-ooh, sometimes it's the long way 'round
Ooh, you gotta get lost to be found

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