Lyrics
Tables Turning
Was a time not so long ago
Thought I knew where this path would go
I?d teach you all that you need to know
And together we?d reach for the sky
Times you?d try to understand
The world and it?s demands
That?s the time I would take your hand
And carry you up to the sky
Those times when you wonder why
I thought I knew of every twist and turn
Journeys tend to open eyes
Who is the teacher, who?s really the guide
And who is along for the ride?
Tables Turning?
A million stars give way to the morning light
Leaves will fall when the birds take flight
It?s Tables Turning, it?s alright
The stars will again fill our skies
Times those mountains seem so hard to climb
You?ll struggle and you won?t know why
It won?t be long until you come to find
You?ll be discovering why?
It?s Tables Turning
You?ve carried me all this time
We won?t always win
but we?ll always try
