Around the World Lyrics
Yeah oh...
Been around the world (x2)
Seen the seas seven
Sailed across them all
Seen the moon rise over Paris
And I watched her gently fall
On to the beat, keep moving
Never stopping, though sometimes
I feel like dropping
Gotta keep on and be strong
Avoid the wrong
Cos in this life you walk alone
Through the danger zone
Until you get home
Chorus:
Been around the world
But there's no place like home, oh baby
Been around the world
But there's no place like home, oh baby
Take me home
Where my soul belongs
Been above the clouds
That paint the sky
Stood below the cosmos
And I pondered on a why
Back to the track in fact I'm breaking
Through I never knew that you would
Turn and walk away to stay
And leave me standing on my own
Far from home, like a nomad, sad bad
Dreams about togetherness
That we never had
Chorus:...
Been around the world
But there's no place like home, oh baby
(Gotta keep on and be strong)
Been around the world
But there's no place like home, oh baby
(Until you get home)
Take me home
Where my soul belongs
Shout to the North to the South
To the East to the West
To the home I love best
Where my soul can rest, yes!
Chorus:...
Been around the world
But there's no place like home, oh baby
(To the home I love best)
Been around the world
But there's no place like home
(Gotta be storng and keep on)
Oh baby (where my soul can rest) Been around the world But there's no place like home, oh baby
Meaning of Around the World
Yeah oh… “Around the World” by East 17 is a poignant exploration of loneliness and longing for belonging after extensive travel. The lyrics depict a journey across continents – witnessing iconic sights like Paris, contemplating the cosmos – yet this outward adventure ultimately amplifies the feeling of isolation. The artist’s message centers on the universal desire for ‘home,’ symbolized as a place where one's soul can rest and find solace. Despite constantly moving, facing “danger zones” alone, there’s an insistent plea to “take me home,” highlighting the vulnerability and sadness of being adrift. The repeated refrain – "Been around the world but there’s no place like home" – underscores this core emotion, a desperate yearning for connection and stability amidst a nomadic existence, ultimately revealing a deep-seated need for love and togetherness.
