You drive with no direction boy
Feeling that you must
be on the move.
It’s been troubling you of late,
you feel
You must keep up the pace and
find your way.
But find it yes you will.
Unlearn those lessons
learnt at school.
You know it can get so cruel.
We all travel with no direction,
oh boy.
You’re scared of every step you take,
Yet fear will grab
and hold you to the ground.
It’s good to be afraid, my friend,
It means you’re wise
and haven’t lost your head.
And find it yes you will.
Unlearn those lessons
learnt at school.
You know
it can get so cruel.
We all travel with no direction, no,
Travel with no direction, oh,
Travel with no direction,
oh yeah.
Shape up,
the walls you can break down,
Shape up,
do away with your bounds, yeah,
Shape up,
the walls you can break down,
Shape n’ shake n’ shape.
The day will come,
the day will come
When all your
time on Earth will be gone, boy.
Your steps have come,
your steps have gone,
Well, are you glad
of what you have done?
Your time has come,
your time has come
To be free from what
you’ve become, boy.
It’s not too late, don’t be afraid
Cause we all travel
with no direction,
no, travel with no direction, oh,
Travel with no direction, oh yeah.
Shape up,
the walls you can break down
Shape up,
do away with your bounds, yeah
Shape up,
the beat of your heart hear,
Shape up,
the screams in your head hear.
Shape up,
the walls you can break down,
Shape up,
do away with your bounds, yeah,
Shape up,
the beat of your heart hear and
Shake n’ shape n’ shake.
