Stop! Look at what's behind you
Fame and love are gonna find you, right on
We're just here to remind you
Yearn and learn is what you do, right on
Once upon a time, child was born
With the 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, yeah
In a world of a different kind, oh, yeah
As he yearned (As he yearned)
So he learned (So he learned)
Stop! Look at what's behind you
Fame and love are gonna find you
We're just here to remind you
Yearn and learn is what you do
He just felt so good inside
Watchin' people come alive, ow
Throbbin' rhythm stir your soul, yeah
Melody he had to unfold
Give your heart a special treat, oh, yeah
Clap your hands, oh, baby, baby
Stomp your feet, y'know
As you yearn, so you learn
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Stop! Look at what's behind you
Fame and love are gonna find you
We're just here to remind you
Yearn and learn is what you do
Stop! Look at what's behind you
Fame and love are gonna find you
We're just here to remind you
Yearn and learn is what you do
