Harry Belafonte - Cycles lyrics

I've been told, and I believe Life is meant for living Even when my spirit's low There's still some room for giving I've been many places Maybe not as far as you So I think I'll stay awhile And see if my dreams come true There isn't much that I have learned In all my foolish years Except that life keeps running in cycles First there's laughter, then there's tears But I'll keep my head up high Although I'm kind a weary The way the world is going today It all seems kind a scary But you know it's almost funny Things can't get much worse than now So I'll keep on trying to sing But please just don't ask me now
