I was a girl in the village doin' alright
Then I became a princess overnight
Now I gotta figure out how to do it right
So much to learn and see
I wanna be where the people are
I wanna see, wanna see 'em dancin'
Walkin' around on those -
What do ya call 'em? Oh, feet
May His favor be upon you for a thousand generations
And your family and your children
And their children, and their children
The half that drives me crazy
You, the better half of me
The half I'll always need
But we both know we're better in stereo
It's the circle of life
And it moves us all
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love
There's another hundred and four days of summer vacation
And school comes along just to end it
So the annual problem for our generation
Is finding a good way to spend it
You're insecure don't know what for
You're turning heads when you walk throuh the door
Don't wanna be a fool for you
Just another player in your game for two
You may hate me, but it ain't no lie
Baby, bye, bye, bye (bye, bye)
So I throw up my hands
And praise You again and again
Cause all that I have is a hallelujah
Hallelujah
Oh, when danger comes to you
You know I'll stand beside ya
'Cause ain't nobody keeping it so cool
I always find a way
A way out of the fire
But don't tell nobody
Tell nobody
Now everytime I go for the mailbox, gotta hold myself down
'Cause I just can't wait till you write me you're coming around
I'm walking on sunshine, wooah
I'm walking on sunshine, woooah
I searched the world
But it couldn't fill me
Man's empty praise
And treasures that fade
Are never enough
My whole world is changin', turnin' around
They got me goin' crazy, yeah, they're shakin' the ground
But they took a chance on the new girl in town
And I don't wanna let them down, down, down
