Drop a pebble in the water And the wave will reach the shore Light a candle in the darkness Someone somewhere finds a door Turn your eyes away from people And they'll turn their eyes from you It's a lesson hard to learn now What you are is what you do And the world keeps turning in a circle The world keeps turning in a circle What goes around, comes around What goes around, comes around Around and 'round Around and 'round (Ah) Turn the rain into a river You will drown in your own tears Cast the words against the wind and You're the only one who hears Deal the cards and spades and loses Everyone will know you're there This song is sang in many tongues and The story told in many lands The world keeps turning in the circle The world keeps turning in the circle What goes around, comes around What goes around, comes around Around and around Around and around (Ah)
