To do better is to try being forthright
About the things we got wrong.
Everyone enjoys praise and acclaim;
It surely is a piece of cake.
But doing better is not shifting blame

The wheel is turning and you can’t slow down
You can’t let go and you can’t hold on
You can’t go back and you can’t stand still
If the thunder don’t get you then the lightning will

A little bit further than you gone before
The wheel is turning and you can’t slow down
You can’t let go and you can’t hold on,
You can’t go back and you can’t stand still
If the thunder don’t get you then the lightning will

Every time that wheel turn ‘round
Bound to cover just a little more ground
The wheel is turning and you can’t slow down
You can’t let go and you can’t hold on
You can’t go back and you can’t stand still
If the thunder don’t get you then the lightning will
