COMPLETE 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

(repeat 1st verse)

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

(repeat 1st verse)

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

(repeat 1st verse)

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.

Thanks to Gregory M. for the help.
