Long Way ’round Songtext
von Jewel

Ooh-ooh
Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh

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'm a tell you a secret about life
Yeah, yeah

It′s two steps up
And one step back
It's forward progress
You won't collapse


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

She said ooh child you know you stand
On the shoulders of every woman
Who would not go down without a fight
Mmm, oh, you know in times like these
Life is a mystery
Just keep walkin' with the light

So keep those flowers in your hair
And the stars in your eyes
We all fall down
But then we rise

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


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

If there′s any spirits out there
Listening on the wind
Oh, I think I hear something
You're gonna love to live again, ooh

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, you're gonna pull through
Ooh-hoo Sometimes it's the long way ′round
Ooh, you gotta get lost To be found

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