Lyrics

[Chorus]
Stop, look what's behind you
Fame and love's gonna find you
We're just here to remind you
Yearn and learn is what you do
[Verse 1]
Once upon a time, a child was born
With a light to carry on
Didn't know what he had to be
Had a feelin' he was bound to see
So the streets, he fled to shine
In a world of a different kind
As we yearn, so we learn
[Chorus]
Stop, look at what's behind you
Fame and love's gonna find you
We're just here to remind you
Yearn and learn is what you do
[Verse 2]
He just felt so good inside
Watchin' people come alive
Throbbin' rhythm stir your soul
Melodies, they do unfold
Gives your heart a special treat, yeah
Clap your hands, oh, babe, baby, stomp your feet, y'all
As you yearn, so you learn
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
Stop, look at what's behind you
Fame and love's gonna find you
We're just here to remind you
Yearn and learn is what you do
[Chorus]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, don't stop
Stop, look at what's behind you
Fame and love's gonna find you
We're just here to remind you
Yearn and learn is what you do
Yearn and learn is what you do
Stop, look at what's behind you
Fame and love's gonna find you
We're just here to remind you
Yearn and learn is what you do
