Lyrics Hide and Seek - Howard Jones

There was a time when there was nothing at all
Nothing at all, just a distant hum
There was a being and he lived on his own
He had no one to talk to, and nothing to do

He drew up the plans, learnt to work
With his hands, a million years passed by
And his work it was done and his words were these

Hope you find it in everything
Everything that you see
Hope you find it in everything
Everything that you see
Hope you find it
Hope you find it
Hope you find me in you

So she had built her elaborate home
With its ups and its downs, its rain and its sun
She decided that her work was done
Time to have fun and found a game to play

Then as part of the game she completely forgot
Where she′d hidden herself and she spent
The rest of her time trying to find the parts

Hope you find it in everything
Everything that you see
Hope you find it in everything
Everything that you see
Hope you find it
Hope you find it
Hope you find me in you

There was a time when there was nothing at all
Nothing at all, just a distant hum
