Lyrics Harry Belafonte

Harry Belafonte

Cycles

I've been told, and I believe

Life is meant for living

Even when my spirit's low

There's still some room for giving

I've been many places

Maybe not as far as you

So I think I'll stay awhile

And see if my dreams come true

There isn't much that I have learned

In all my foolish years

Except that life keeps running in cycles

First there's laughter, then there's tears

But I'll keep my head up high

Although I'm kind a weary

The way the world is going today

It all seems kind a scary

But you know it's almost funny

Things can't get much worse than now

So I'll keep on trying to sing

But please just don't ask me now
