Hard times have befallen people everywhere
Bad news in the papers no one seems to care
No time to discover how the story ends
‘Cause the circle comes around And things start looking up again

Chorus:
When the circle comes around I will be there In the game of life
the rules are never fair Take it slow and easy That’s the way it’s meant to be
The circle comes around and I’ll be there

Stand up to the mirror tell me what you see
There’s somebody in there trying to be free
High hopes for tomorrow now those days are gone
But the circle comes around And now they’re back and feeling strong

CHORUS

What goes around comes around
When you’re down it comes around

There’s hope for the future if that’s what we choose
And you do things to each other That you want done back to you

CHORUS
