Corners

(album: 1980 - 1980)

Turning of the decade
Like a giant wheel in time
Stands out on life's highway
Like an advertising sign

Turning of the decade
Like a marker hung in space
A man-made definition
Like the bending of a page

And if we see where we've been
Somehow more clearly than before
And if we see where we're going somehow
Like the opening of a door

They're not there to stop your flowing
To somehow freeze you in the past
Sign posts are meant to shape your growing
There's nothing there to hold you back

Turning of the decade
Is meant to separate
Ten years left to history
And ten years left to fate

Turning of the decade
Like corners in your life
That turn only to the future
Instead of left or right

And if we see where we've been
Somehow more clearly than before
And if we see where we're going somehow
Like the opening of a door

They're not there to stop your flowing
To somehow freeze you in the past
Sign posts are meant to shape your growing
There's nothing there to hold you back

Nothing there to hold you back
Nothing there to hold you back
There ain't nothing there to hold you back
There ain't nothing there to hold you back
Hold you back
Hold you back
There nothing there to hold you back
There ain't nothing there to hold you back
There ain't nothing there to hold you back
