let 'em whirl

whirlwind running through my head

wasted words that people said

the wind is howling at my door

i don't listen anymore

the darkened sky blocks out the sun

still reeling from the damage done

if i go out and chase that wind

i might not make it back again

let 'em whirl

who am i to say

you gotta do things different

i know a better way

let 'em whirl

there's a child in everyone

who's got to ride the storm out

to see who'll they'll become

let 'em whirl

the simple things are hard to see

i got you and you've got me

no cause left for us to fight

being wrong's a god-given right

let 'em whirl

who am i to say

you gotta do things different

i know a better way

let 'em whirl

there's a child in everyone

who's got to ride the storm out

to see who'll they'll become

let 'em whirl

we all learn the hard way

we can't pretend to know

where life is gonna lead us

or which way the wind will blow

let 'em whirl

who am i to say

you gotta do things different

i know a better way

let 'em whirl

there's a child in everyone

who's got to ride the storm out

to see who'll they'll become

let 'em whirl

who am i to say

you gotta do things different

i know a better way

let 'em whirl

there's a child in everyone

who's got to ride the storm out

to see who'll they'll become

let 'em whirl
