I’ll tell you a story today

now you’re old enough to say

that words aren’t truths

they’re not written in stone

oh life won’t run smooth

I guess you know

In my dark teenage years

I cried a lake full of tears

I was all alone

and clinged to my home

scared of many things

I didn’t know

But the world keeps on turning, round and round

even when we’re feeling down

I had my music and art

All emotions filled my heart

I spent hours reading books

getting lost and being found

There is beauty in being earthbound

And the world keeps turning, round and round

even when we’re feeling down

And you will fall

and you’ll make mistakes

and you’ll cry yourself to sleep

but when you feel

like giving up

know my love for you runs deep

Yes the world keeps turning, round and round

even when we’re feeling down
