Lyrics

[Intro]

Ooh, hey

I'm trying to decide

Which way to go

I think I made a wrong turn back there somewhere

Ooh, hey

I'm trying to decide

Which way to go

I think I made a wrong turn back there somewhere

[Chorus]

Didn't cha know, didn't cha know?

Tried to move but I lost my way

Didn't cha know, didn't cha know?

Stopped to watch my emotions sway

Didn't cha know, didn't cha know?

Knew the toll but I would not pay

Didn't cha know, didn't cha know?

God, you never know where the cards may lay

[Verse 1]

Time to save the world, where in the world is all the time?

So many things I still don't know, so many times I've changed my mind

Guess I was born to make mistakes but I ain't scared to take the weight

So when I stumble off the path, I know my heart will guide me back, yeah

[PreChorus]

Ooh, hey

I'm trying to decide

Which way to go

I think I made a wrong turn back there somewhere

Ooh, hey, ooh

I'm trying to decide

Which way to go

I think I made a wrong turn back there somewhere

[Chorus]

Didn't cha know, didn't cha know?

Tried to run but I lost my way

Didn't cha know, didn't cha know?

Stopped to watch my emotions sway

Didn't cha know, didn't cha know?

Knew the toll but I would not pay

Didn't cha know, didn't cha know?

I said ya never know how the cards may lay

[Outro]

Love is life, and life is free, take a ride of life with me

Free your mind and find your way, there will be a brighter day

Love is life, and life is free, take a ride of life with me

Free your mind and find your way, there will be a brighter day

Love is life, and life is free, take a ride of life with me

Free your mind and find your way, there will be a brighter day
