Gil Scott-Heron - Corners lyrics

Turning of the decade Like a giant wheel in time Stands out on life's highway Like an advertising sign. Turning of the decade Like a marker hung in space A man made definition Like the bending of a page. And if we see where we've been Somehow more clearly than before; And if we see where we're going somehow Like the opening of a door: They're not there to stop your flowing To somehow freeze you in the past; Sign posts are meant to shape your growing There's nothing there to hold you back. Turning of the decade Is meant to separate; Ten years left to history And ten years left to fate. Turning of the decade Like Corners in your life That turn only to the future Instead of left or right. And if we see where we've been Somehow more clearly than before; And if we see where we're going somehow Like the opening of a door. They're not there to stop your flowing To somehow freeze you in the past; Sign posts are meant to shape your growing There's nothing there to hold you back. Nothing there to hold you back Nothing there to hold you back There ain't nothing there to hold you back There ain't nothing there to hold you back Hold you back Hold you back There nothing there to hold you back There ain't nothing there to hold you back There ain't nothing there to hold you back!
