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.
