Maurice White, Charles Stepney & Philip Bailey
Once upon a time, a child was born
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.
