Phenomenon
Odie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I think I wanna change the, whole world
Can you see the, phenomenon
Been living on a prayer, all along
I can feel it, coming on
I think I wanna change the, whole world
Can you see the, phenomenon
I can't erase my life
Everything won't go right
But still I learn
Even though I'm here on Earth
Heaven is the place I'm worth
I'll make it work
I wanna change, my lover
Even in the days I suffer
I can't get worse
Cruising through the pain I surf
And oh I'm gonna break my curse
'Cause every damn day gets a little bit better
And all of this weight couldn't hold me down ever
So follow my name when I'm holding my family right
And I keep it on me cause I know that
It's all good it's okay
Everything is going my way
And when it's over
I'm gonna rule my fate
And make it to a brand new day
And then she'll say
If its okay
If its alright
I'll be there
Through the night
If its okay
If its alright
I'll be there
Through the night
I can feel it, coming on
I think I wanna change the, whole world
Can you see the, phenomenon
Been living on a prayer, all along
I can feel it, coming on
I think I wanna change the, whole world
Can you see the, phenomenon
Been living on a prayer, all along
