In a world of love and lies I see
Many people just like you and me
And we give and take away
We hide within ourselves
We know what goes around will come around
We fall off track from the paths we choose
Seems we've won but somehow we lose
And we smile and we cry and it's easier to lie
But there's no way to hide from the truth
What goes up, it must come down
What goes round it comes right back around
Be careful what you wish for it may just come true
And what goes up comes down to you
(Comes down to you)
In a time of love and hate I find
Troublesome to find some peace of mind
We pray and then we dream and it's easier to scream
And freedom ain't exactly always free
Nine outta ten times it seems too good
And love isn't perfect though we feel it should
We act on what we think
But don't think of how we act
We hope to be forgiven in the end
What goes up, it must come down
What goes round it comes right back around
Be careful what you wish for it may just come true
And what goes up comes down to you
In a world we call free
People praise you and take you for granted
When there's nothing left to see
Only love will be the last one standing
What goes up, it must come down
What goes round it comes right back around
Be careful what you wish for it may just come true
And what goes up comes down to you
