Been around the world
The wonders to view
Been around the world
Looking for someone like you
Pyramids try
Babylon too
But the beautifullest treasures lie in the deepest blue
So, I never say die
Aim never untrue
I'm never so high as when I'm with you
And there isn't a fire
That I wouldn't walk through
My army of one is gonna fight for you
Been around the world
Universe too
I've been around flying, baby
There's nothing I wouldn't do
Tanzaku stars
Lasso the moon
And be standing there beside you
Right when the storm comes through
'Cause I never say die
Aim never untrue
Never so high as when I'm with you
And there isn't a fire
That I wouldn't walk through
My army of one is gonna fight for you
My army of one is gonna fall for you, yeah
'Cause you reign
All 'cause you reign
All 'cause you reign
My army of one is gonna call it through
Saying my heart is my gun, army of one
Yeah, my heart is my gun, army of one
It's my only weapon, army of one
Saying my heart is my gun, army of one
(So I race for it)
Stare into darkness, staring at doom
My heart boom, bo-boom boom
Stare into darkness, admit defeat
Coming home and I'm finding no peace
And I know, and I know, and I know
I know I'm out of luck
And I know, and I know, and I know
I know what you've got
So I put my hands up to the sky, feel alive
I've got a rocketship that I want to ride
I put my hands up to the sky, it's all right
Wherever you are, I'll find that treasure
(So I race for it)
Wherever you are, I'll find that treasure
(So I race for it)
Stare into darkness, staring at doom
You make my heart go boom, bo-boom boom
Superhero, a masterpiece
Been in a city but it centered around me
And I know, and I know, and I know
I know I'm in luck
And I know, and I know, and I know
I know when I'm not
I just put my hands up to the sky, feel alive
I've got a rocketship that I want to ride
I put my hands up to the sky, feel it inside
Wherever you are, I'll find that treasure
I just put my hands up to the sky, feeling alright
I've got a rocket, eyes on the prize
I put my hands up to the sky, I'm gonna find
Wherever you are, I'll find that treasure
So I race for it
Wherever you are, I'll find that treasure
(So I reach for it)
Yeah, yeah, wherever you are, I'll find that treasure
(So I reach for it)
And I know, and I know, and I know
I know what I've got (So I reach for it)
X marks the spot
So I put my hands up to the sky, feeling alright
I've got a rocketship that I want to ride
I put my hands up to the sky, the feeling is like
Wherever you are, I'll find that treasure
I put my hands up to the sky, feeling alright
I've got a rocket, eyes on the price
I put my hands up to the sky, I'm gonna fly
Wherever you are, I'll find that treasure
Yeah, yeah, wherever you are, I'll find that treasure
