[Verse 1]
Dust on the window, a crack in the pane,
The sun sets red, bleeds into the grain.
The fields are empty, the barn leans low,
Time moves forward, but it feels so slow.
[Chorus]
The world keeps turning, round and round,
Burying dreams six feet in the ground.
A wheel that grinds, a fire that burns,
No matter the sorrow, the world still turns.
[Verse 2]
Wolves in the shadows, wind in the trees,
A lonesome howl carried on the breeze.
The river runs black, the sky turns gray,
The weight of the world don’t just go away.
[Prechorus]
What do we do when the light won’t last?
Hold on tight or forget the past?
[Chorus]
The world keeps turning, round and round,
Burying dreams six feet in the ground.
A wheel that grinds, a fire that burns,
No matter the sorrow, the world still turns.
[Bridge]
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust,
Steel and stone will turn to rust.
A kingdom falls, a flower dies,
But still the stars hang in the skies.
