Song lyrics

Stand in the place where you live

Now face north

Think about direction

Wonder why you haven't before


Now stand in the place where you work

Now face west

Think about the place where you live

Wonder why you haven't before


If you are confused, check with the sun

Carry a compass to help you along

Your feet are going to be on the ground

Your head is there to move you around


So stand in the place where you live

Now face north

Think about direction

Wonder why you haven't before


Now stand in the place where you work

Now face west

Think about the place where you live

Wonder why you haven't before


Your feet are going to be on the ground

Your head is there to move you around

If wishes were trees, the trees would be falling

Listen to reason, season is calling


Stand in the place where you live

Now face north

Think about direction

Wonder why you haven't before


Now stand in the place where you work

Now face west

Think about the place where you live

Wonder why you haven't before


If wishes were trees, the trees would be falling

Listen to reason, reason is calling

Your feet are going to be on the ground

Your head is there to move you around


So stand (Stand!)

Now face north

Think about direction

Wonder why you haven't before


Now stand (Stand!)

Now face west

Think about the place where you live

Wonder why you haven't


Stand in the place where you live

Now face north

Think about direction

Wonder why you haven't before


Now stand in the place where you work

Now face west

Think about the place where you live

Wonder why you haven't before


Stand in the place where you are

Now face north

Stand in the place where you are

Now face west

Your feet are going to be on the ground

(Stand in the place where you are)

Your head is there to move you around, so stand
