Lyrics Eagle-Eye Cherry feat. Neneh Cherry - Long Way Around

"Eagle Eye! Pick the base for the brothers and let them know what's goin' on.."

You say what you say and you pray that one day
You'll be seen between the shadows
Now that's a waste of your pain
Living your life like a saint
When it don't, no it don't even matter

Even saints make their mistakes
Letting their dreams fall and break
All it feels like living in sunshine with the shades pulled down
Now I want you to see how good life can be
You can turn around
And better your life with the good times found


[REFRAIN:]
People will always take the long way round
Before you know it you'll be lost and found
Living in sunshine with the shades pulled down
People will always take the long way round


[REFRAIN]

I'm not afraid of pride when it's for the right side
Don't betray what I believe in
Stand where you want to stand and I'll believe when I can
'Cause I'm telling you now I've been where you're living in

[REFRAIN]

Tomorrow keep its promise
No one here can say
The past is all behind us
And all we have is today

[REFRAIN]
