lyrics

Turn Around

Runnin' around again, no time to talk to friends
Things that ya gotta do, livin' the life you choose
When you the remember the way it was
There's a pain so deep and pure
That sends ya spinnin' around
Leavin' everything unsure

Chorus

Crashin' like the thunder
Turn around and you wonder where you are

Playin' it by the rules, tellin' you what to do
Towin' the line so long, usin' ya while you're strong
They lock your life up for thirty years
They throw away the key!
Workin' hours on end
Never lookin' up to see

Chorus (repeat X 2)

The truth is cold and clear, now in the grip of fear
You struggle tryin' to fight it back, but you're feelin' alone and trapped
Yeah when you remember the way it was
There's a pain you can't control
Piercing your heart
Reachin' for your soul!

Chorus (repeat X 3)


Hard Line

Once upon a time you thought you had some answers
But somewhere down the line the questions added up
Suddenly you find yourself growin' older faster
Starin' down into that empty coffee cup

But there ain't nobody, gonna pull you through it this time
There ain't no one on the face of this earth gonna drag you across that line
Yeah it seems a little unfair,
Well just a little unkind, ah but baby

Chorus

You gotta walk the line
You gotta walk the line
You gotta walk the line
You gotta walk the line

Wastin' all your time is easy when you're younger
Time is just somethin' left there on your hands
You turn around and all the world is crashin' thunder
There's no where left to run to, now you make your stand

There ain't no body, gonna sit there a holdin' your hand
You gotta dig down deep in the ground and search for the promised land
Well it seems a little bit frightening,
Hey it's a lonely time, ah but baby

Chorus (repeat)

Well now everyone's got their own life to live
It's not just you feelin' entwined
And one of these days down this crazy path
The sun is gonna shine
Cause hope and love is what we gotta find

Well there ain't nobody, gonna whisper, "It's alright"
You find yourself starin' down into the heart of the coldest darkest night
Some call it a crisis of faith
Seek and you shall find, ah but baby

You gotta walk the hard line
Gotta walk the hard line
You gotta walk the hard line
Yeah you gotta walk it this time
Well you gotta walk it
Baby start talkin' bout it
Yeah you start chalkin' on it
Walk the hard line, get down

Chorus (repeat)
