Harry Belafonte Cycles Lyrics

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
