Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Heart and soul took control
Took control of me
Paid my dues, spread the news
Hands across the sea
Put me down, turned me round
Turned me round to see
Marble halls, open doors
Someone found the key
[Verse 2]
And it's only what you do
That keeps it comin' back on you
And it's only what you say
That can give yourself away
[Verse 3]
Underground sight and sound
Human symphony
Heard the voice, had no choice
Needed to be free
Fly me high, touch the sky
Left the Earth below
Heard the line, saw the sign
Knew which way to go
[Verse 4]
'Cause it's easier to try
Than to prove it can't be done
And it's easier to stay
Than to turn around and run
[Verse 5]
It's a blue world
It takes somebody to help somebody
Oh, it's a blue world
It's a new world
It needs somebody to love somebody
Oh, it's a blue world
[Verse 6]
Heart and soul took control
Took control of me
Paid my dues, spread the news
Hands across the sea
Put me down, turned me round
Turned me round to see
Marble halls, open doors
Someone found the key
[Verse 7]
'Cause it's easier to try
Than to prove it can't be done
And it's easier to stay
Than to turn around and run
[Verse 8]
It's a blue world
It takes somebody to help somebody
Oh, it's a blue world
It's a new world
It needs somebody to love somebody
Oh, it's a blue world
[Verse 9]
It's a blue world
It takes somebody to help somebody
Oh, it's a blue world
It's a new world
It needs somebody to love somebody
Oh, it's a blue world
[Verse 10]
It's a blue world
It needs somebody to love somebody
Oh, it's a blue world
