Long Way ’Round

[Intro]
Ooh-ooh

[Verse 1]
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, whatcha gonna do
You been lookin' mighty blue, so
I'ma tell you a secret about life."
Yeah, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
It's two steps up
And one step back
It's forward progress
You won't collapse

[Chorus]
Ooh-hoo
Yeah, you're gonna pull through
Ooh-hoo
Yeah, you're gonna pull through
Ooh-hoo
Sometimes it's the long way 'round
You gotta get lost
To get found

[Verse 2]
She said, ""Ooh, child, you know you stand
On the shoulders of every woman
Who would not go down without a fight
Mmm, oh
Oh, you know in times like these
Whеn life is a mystery
Just keep walkin' with the light."

[Pre-Chorus 2]
So keep thosе flowers in your hair
And the stars in your eyes
We all fall down
But then we rise

[Chorus]
Ooh-hoo
Yeah, you're gonna pull through
Ooh-hoo
Yeah, you're gonna pull through
Ooh-hoo
Sometimes it's the long way 'round
You gotta get lost
To get found

[Bridge]
Problems might appear
Closer in the rear view mirror
You gotta let 'em go
Let 'em go

[Pre-Chorus]
If there's any spirits out there
Listenin' on the wind
Oh, I think I hear something
You're gonna love to live again, ooh

[Chorus]
Ooh-hoo
Yeah, you're gonna pull through
Ooh-hoo
Yeah, you're gonna pull through
Ooh-hoo
Sometimes it's the long way 'round
You gotta get lost
To get found
Ooh-hoo
Yeah, you're gonna pull through
Ooh-hoo
Sis, gonna pull through
Ooh-hoo
Sometimes it's the long way 'round
Ooh, you gotta get lost
To be found

[Outro]
Ooh-hoo
Oh, hoo
Ooh-hoo, oh-oh
Ooh-hoo
Sometimes it's the long way 'round
You gotta get lost
To get found
