Yearnin', Learnin'

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
Stop! Look what's behind you
Fame and love 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
Throbbin' rhythm and it stirs your soul
Melodies of joy unfold
Gives your heart such a special treat
Clap your hands, stomp your feet
As we yearn, so we learn
Stop! Look what's behind you
Fame and love gonna find you
We're just here to remind you
Yearn and learn is what you do
