Don't stay hidden away, come and join everyone. 
{riff} 
Everyone. 
 
Outside l'm ready to ride, we can go anywhere. 
Don't wait, procrastinate take a chance if you dare- 
I want to take you there. 
Find a pace in the sun. 
 
You know you want to go - it's no sacrifice. 
I want what you want, in fact I'll even do it twice 
At half the price. 
Find a place in the sun.

Good people died to provide you a place in the sun. 
 
I'm here, what's there to fear? We're not breaking any law. 
Someday I know you'll say you wonder 
what you waited for 
What are you waiting for? 
Find a place in the sun. 
 
Didn't you know any wrong you have done 
Cannot deny you the right to a place in the sun? 
Find a place in the sun.
