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)
