Yearnin' Learnin' Songtext
von Earth, Wind & Fire

Stop! Look at what′s behind you
Fame and love's gon′ find you
We're just here to remind you
Yearn and learn is what you do, oh

Yaow!
Yeah

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 he yearn, so he learn
Yea-ah-yo-no-no, yeah yeah

Stop! Look what′s behind you
Fame and love's gon′ find you
We're just here to remind you
Yearn and learn is what you do


Ha, he just felt so, good inside
Watchin′ people come alive (ow)
Throbbin' rhythm and it stirs your soul
Melodies of joy unfold

Gives your heart such a special treat (yeah)
Clap your hands, oh, ba-baby
Stomp your feet, y′know
As we yearn now, so you learn
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Stop! Look what's behind you
Fame and love's gon′ find you (yeah, yeah, yeah, ow)
We′re just here to remind you
Yearn and learn is what you do, oh

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know the sound
Stop! Look what's behind you (la, la, la, la, here it go)
Fame and love′s gon' find you (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
