Instead is the fourth song from the third series of Thomas & Friends: All Engines Go. The song is heard in the episode, Duck Duck Whoosh!.
Lyrics
- Sometimes you want something, you really want something,
- At least you think you do.
- But then you learn the thing you thought you needed
- Is less important to you.
- As this instead-
- Instead!
- Of seeing the one thing I want.
- I can see things from another point of view!
- Instead!
- I got something even better
- Better than the something that I thought I knew!
- We all have hopes and dreams, many goals we set,
- That we want just for ourselves.
- But what we get instead sometimes turns out,
- To be better for everyone else.
- Instead!
- Of seeing the one thing I want.
- I can see things from another point of view!
- Instead!
- I got something even better
- Better than the something that I thought I knew!
- We all have hopes and dreams, many goals we set,
- That we want just for ourselves.
- But what we get instead sometimes turns out,
- To be better for everyone else.
- Instead!
- You can try to change your thinking,
- You might see that speed isn't all that you need!
- Instead!
- Instead!
Sometimes you want something, you really want something,
At least you think you do.
But then you learn the thing you thought you needed
Is less important to you.
As this instead-
Instead!
Of seeing the one thing I want.
I can see things from another point of view!
Instead!
I got something even better
Better than the something that I thought I knew!
We all have hopes and dreams, many goals we set,
That we want just for ourselves.
But what we get instead sometimes turns out,
To be better for everyone else.
Instead!
If you try to change your thinking,
You might see that speed isn't all that you need!
Instead!
Instead!Characters
