If I Found out Lyrics

Athlete

Out of energy
I dont know what to do with myself
Made it eventually
And now I resting on the very last breath

And all I needed was this one to get me back on my way
It wasn't long before I realised there was no time to waste
There was soul all around me
Everybody let go
It wasnt long before we realised
There was no time to waste

Like Im eleven again
I was the highest kid in the world
I reached a point with no end
Just looking out so I can take it all in

And all I needed was this one to get me back on my way
It wasn't long before I realised there was no time to waste

(Choir)
Ooohhhh soul
Ooohhhh soul

I thank you, for soul
No point unless you got soul
This world has got to have soul
Looking round for your soul

Digging down digging down digging down to your soul
That I found out that you got soul
You'll be holding out all your soul

Lifted up all your soul
Cos I thank you for soul
