As The World Turns – Daniel Amos – letras

I’m checkin’ out, checking on a late night flightLAX a horror showStill I’d rather be here sweatin’ out another take-offThan living in the valley belowAnd I never get comfort in the earth or skyIt’s my belief they’re not my homeThe world spins one way, but I go anotherAgainst the grain, one often stands aloneAs the world turns, it slaps me hardAs the world turns, it tells me I’m weakAs the world turns, I drop my guardAs the world turns, I turn the other cheekI singHey oh, slaps me hardHey oh, slaps me hardHey oh, slaps me hardI put it all together in the exercise yardDreams that die too easy in the vengeance of timeSome values given up for othersAnd this, I think, is the essence of our tragedy:Our fallenness, our bond with one anotherAnd you always hear about it in the evening newsYou get it in the morning paperBut if you think it’s always gonna be this wayI say it’s gonna change, much sooner than laterMany people wanting the elixir of youthThrough defeats and through disastersStifling the only thing that changes it allLove is what I’m going afterAchievements always falling into yesterdayI’m a pupil in an Intro classNew cars, travels, love affairs cannot provideThe way out of life’s iron cast
