Music & Lyrics: Carolyn Wonderland
I tried to warn you now I’m pulling out thorns
For going down with you in the eye of the storm.
There ain’t no lesson unless you want to learn.
Sooner or later everybody gets burned.
Yes sooner or later everybody gets their turn.
Sooner or later everybody gets burned
The best you can hope for is to be worth the scars
Mounted beggars race steeds, but they never get far
If you want a lesson, better lessen your load
Sooner or later everybody gets told.
Yeah sooner or later everybody feels bold,
Sooner or later everybody gets told
There ain’t no love that don’t exist in the wild
There ain’t no tears like the motherless child’s
There ain’t no lesson unless you’re getting spurned
Sooner or later everybody gets burned
Yeah, sooner or later everybody gets their turn
Sooner or later everybody gets burned
The burden of the blessing
When you’re the last man standing
Is to pick up all the pieces and carry on
The gift that you’ve been given
Is in fact to keep on living
To share your memories and pass the lessons along
Your house is haunted by the ghosts of its past
So try to make peace with every breath that you cast
There’s always a lesson, listen up while you can
Sooner or later you’ve got to take a stand
Yeah sooner or later you better make a plan
Sooner or later you gonna have to take a stand
