[Chorus]
I believe in there's a world down under
Yeah yeah hey
I believe in there's a world down under

[Verse 1]
Wave after wave
There's no wall for emotions now for me
Infinity all day long
Dream after dream
Had to live in the presence not in the past
At least a part will last

[Pre-Chorus]
All I need is love but love's not easy to find
'Cause I'm saying all the time to all like this

[Chorus]
I believe in there's a world down under
Where my heroes are playing with Alice
I'm not alone
I have been there in a world down under
Live the dream out today, hey

[Verse 2]
I know, it's hard
To be seen as a person when you play
Alice in Wonderland
Are kind of figures
That speak to them
You don't understand
What's driven me to that land

[Pre-Chorus]
All I need is love but love's not easy to find
All in all I'm saying all the time to all

[Chorus]
I believe in there's a world down under
Where my heroes are playing with Alice
I'm not alone
I have been there in a world down under
Live the dream out today, hey
I believe in there's a world down under
Where my heroes are playing with Alice
I'm not alone
I have been there in a world down under
Live the dream out today, hey

[Bridge]
I believe
I believe (yeah yeah)
Na na na na na na na

[Chorus]
I believe in there's a world down under (na na na na na na na)
Where my heroes are playing with Alice
I'm not alone (ooh yeah)
I have been there in a world down under
Live the dream out today, hey
I believe in there's a world down under (there's a world down under)
Where my heroes are playing with Alice
I'm not alone
I have been there in a world down under
Live the dream out today, hey

Ace of Base Is a Swedish pop group who scored a string of international hits in the early-to-mid 1990s. They’re best known for their upbeat reggae-tinged dance-pop songs, including “The Sign”, which was the biggest hit of 1994, according to The Billboard US chart.

The group’s core lineup consisted of producers Ulf “Buddha” Ekberg and Jonas “Joker” Berggren, along with singers Malin “Linn” Berggren and Jenny Berggren (the three Berggrens are siblings). In the early ’90s, their debut single “Wheel of Fortune” became a hit in Scandinavia, which led to the group connecting with producer Denniz Pop (who would later spawn the careers Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears, and Max Martin).

After the group’s 1992 debut Happy Nation became an international hit (going on to sell 21 million copies), it was re-released in North America in 1993 as The Sign. Three singles from the album became top five pop hits in the US, including “All That She Wants” (#2), “Don’t Turn Around” (#4), and “The Sign” (#1 for six weeks). The Sign went on to sell over 10 million copies.
