World Goes Around

Maybe your troubles got the best of you

God knows the punishment don't always fit the crime

Sometimes you know even your best won't do

Does the end of the rope mean hell or hope that's up to you

Because the world goes around

And everything changes

And then we start again

But wearing different faces

Sometimes you're on top

Sometimes you're not

Even the sun goes down

Because the world goes around

And we take our chances together

Turn for the worse

Or turn for the better

Who can say

All we can do is endeavor

To live like nothing bad can last forever

All our days

Because the world goes around

Maybe it's not enough to know your way

Sometimes you've just gotta take the long way around

Choose your adventure there's no pay or play

What's gonna be your measure pain or pleasure

Because the world goes around

And everything changes

And then we start again

But we're in different places

Sometimes you're way up

But on your way down

Like a kid in the clouds

And then the world goes around

And we take our chances together

Turn for the worse

Or turn for the better

Who can say

All we can do is endeavor

To live like nothing bad can last forever

All our days

Because the world goes around

And everything changes

Then we start again

In all our different ways

And then the world goes around and round and round

Then everything changes

Then we start again

In all our different ways, oh so different

Sometimes you're on top

And sometimes you're not

Even the sun goes down

Because the world goes around
