Take A Trip (Version)



"I'm going on a trip to the other side
Going there to see what it is like over there, over there
Hoping to find peace, peace and happiness
Something we all need to carry on

On the other side the answer could be found
Been in one place too long, take the change over there
In time you might find peace and all you're searching for
Never give up on life, stay right there"...
