There was a song we used to sing
Whenever this life get us down
Then it would give us hope again
Help pull ourselves up from the ground
My body is achin'
My finger is shakin'
My will is breakin'
Nothing to ease the pain, nooo, ha!
Where did it go? (Where did it go?) Oh yeah
Where did it go? (Where did it go?) Oh yeah
Where did it go? (Ooooh)
The song we used to sing? Yeah
Listen to me!
What happened to the days we knew
And all the great things we could do?
Though we were young, we were so sure
We couldn't feel this insecure
Cause we were strong
Couldn't go wrong
Wouldn't be long
To feel that happy song, noooo, ha!
Where did it go? (Where did it go?) Oh yeah
Where did it go? (Where did it go?) Ha!
Where did it go? (Ooooh)
The song we used to sing? Tell me now!
Where did it go? (Where did it go?) Oh yeah
Where did it go? (Where did it go?)
Where did it go? (Ooooh)
The song we used to sing? Oooh Ha!
Ha ha! Listen to me!
There was a song we used to sing
Whenever this life get us down (get us down)
Then it would give us hope again (hope again)
Help pull ourselves up from the ground
My body is achin'
My fingers are shakin'
My will is breakin'
Nothing to ease the pain, pain, nooo
Where did it go? (Where did it go?) Oh yeah
Where did it go? (Where did it go?)
Where did it go? (Ooooh)
The song we used to sing? Tell me people
Where did it go? (Where did it go?)
Where did it go? (Where did it go?)
Where did it go? (Ooooh)
The song we used to sing? Tell me
