Round and Round

Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow
Life’s but a walking shadow

And this world goes ‘round and ‘round
And this world goes ‘round and ‘round

Sunrise after sunrise, you know where you’ve been?
Wait for tomorrow, and do it again
As we ride the charger, meant to slow down
With banners of crimson, fading to brown

And this world goes ‘round and ‘round
And this world goes ‘round and ‘round

A generation, comes and goes
When will ours end? No one knows
And all think we, have the cure
But how to use it? No one’s sure

And this world goes ‘round and ‘round
One step forward, one step behind

And this world goes ‘round and ‘round
One step forward, one step behind

Sunrise after sunrise, you know where you’ve been?
Wait for tomorrow, and do it again
As we ride the charger, meant to slow down
With banners of crimson, fading to brown

And this world goes ‘round and ‘round
And this world goes ‘round and ‘round
And this world goes ‘round and ‘round
One step forward, one step behind

And this world goes ‘round and ‘round
One step forward, one step behind

Ever rising, and standing tall
Scale the mountain, before the fall
And we surge onward, to touch the sky
But who'll remember, when we die?

And this world goes round and round
And this world goes round and round
And this world goes round and round
One step forward, one step behind
And this world goes round and round
One step forward, one step behind

Sunrise after sunrise, you know where you've been?
Wait for tomorrow, and do it again
As we ride the charger, meant to slow down
With banners of crimson, fading to brown

Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow
Creeps in this petty pace, from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools the way to dusty death
Out, out, brief candle
Like's but a walking shadow
A poor player, who struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more
It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury
Signifying nothing

And this world goes round and round
And this world goes round and round

And this world goes round and round
One step forward, one step behind

And this world goes round and round
One step forward, one step behind

One step forward, one step behind
One step forward, one step behind

One step forward, one step behind
One step forward, one step behind

One step forward, one step behind
One step forward, one step behind

One step forward, one step behind
One step forward, one step behind
