Once I was down and beginning to doubt
That I could ever find something to relieve me
I thought I was so low I couldn't get out
I figured the people would only deceive me
You're the one that found me by the wayside
You're the one that kept me on the right side
You said I could get out and this is the way
I'm the sound that sent you, make the rounds and bang
By the invention, go the direction of love
Now that I've found out and I have no doubt
That I could ever find something to relieve me
I can tell all my friends and I know they'll believe me
I'll just tell them what it's all about
They'll be looking at me and for the first time they'll see me
I can tell them to wake up and realize
There's a way to find where the truth lies
If you want to find out, this is the way
I'm the sound that sent you, make the rounds and bang
By the invention, go the direction of love
You came into my life
You changed my life
How could life be right
When love had gone so wrong
Now that I've told you how I feel about life
It's your turn to see if you're gonna wanna live it
Now's the time to say goodbye
It's time to stop the pain and take out the night
Find out what's inside of you and learn how to give in
Now's the time to wake up and realize
There's a way to find where the truth lies
I'm the sound that sent you, make the rounds and bang
By the invention, go the direction of love
I'm the sound that sent you, make the rounds and bang
By the invention, go the direction of love
I'm the sound that sent you, make the rounds and bang
By the invention, go the direction of love
I'm the sound that sent you, make the rounds and bang
