Wheel of Wonder |
| You
won't hear it on the turnpike Doesn't run on gasoline Got no rubber tread to burn like An out-of-control machine Won't be warning you by letter Doesn't need to pass a test Some are worse and some are better But it's coming nonetheless It's not strolling up the sidewalk Won't be stopping on a dime There's no place where you can hide Chalk this one up to Father Time. CHORUS Don't run away from yesterday It keeps you looking back So try instead to jump ahead And break out of the pack Could be this year's a time for tears of happiness or strife The chances are that you'll go far Another year of life You may say it doesn't matter That it doesn't change a thing But the fact is it may shatter Preconceptions that you bring You can claim it's not reversing Ways that you're accustomed to But there's really no rehearsing All the changes you'll go through You might think it won't endanger What the girl you were has been But you'll find she's more a stranger Than the woman soon within CHORUS Doesn't take a rocket doctor There is nothing left to prove You don't need some sly concoctor Just to tell you your next move You keep going where you're going There's no deviated path Destinations you're not knowing Won't affect the aftermath Wheel of wonder keep on spinning Though the outcome be unseen What's not ending is beginning You're turning seventeen |
