Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Stand in the place where you live

Now face north

Think about direction

Wonder why you haven't before

Now stand in the place where you work

Now face west

Think about the place where you live

Wonder why you haven't before

[Verse 2]

If you are confused, check with the sun

Carry a compass to help you along

Your feet are going to be on the ground

Your head is there to move you around

[Verse 3]

So stand in the place where you live

Now face north

Think about direction

Wonder why you haven't before

Now stand in the place where you work

Now face west

Think about the place where you live

Wonder why you haven't before

[Verse 4]

Your feet are going to be on the ground

Your head is there to move you around

If wishes were trees, the trees would be falling

Listen to reason, the season is calling

[Verse 5]

Stand in the place where you live

Now face north

Think about direction

Wonder why you haven't before

Now stand in the place where you work

Now face west

Think about the place where you live

Wonder why you haven't before

[Verse 6]

If wishes were trees, the trees would be falling

Listen to reason, reason is calling

Your feet are going to be on the ground

Your head is there to move you around

[Verse 7]

So stand (Stand)

Now face north

Think about direction

Wonder why you haven't before

Now stand (Stand)

Now face west

Think about the place where you live

Wonder why you haven't

[Verse 8]

Stand in the place where you live

Now face north

Think about direction

Wonder why you haven't before

Now stand in the place where you work

Now face west

Think about the place where you live

Wonder why you haven't before

[Verse 9]

Stand in the place where you are (Now face north)

Stand in the place where you are (Now face west)

Your feet are going to be on the ground (Stand in the place where you are)

Your head is there to move you around, so stand (Stand in the place where you are)
