You thought you could hide, thought you could run
But the truth always shines like the morning sun
You built your walls, you played your games
But now you're lost in the echo of your name
You hurt the ones who gave you love
Took more than you needed, never enough
But life's got a way of setting things right
What you did in the dark, comes to light
What goes around comes around, that's the way it goes
The seeds that you planted, now the garden grows
You can't outrun the truth, it's always found
What goes around, yeah, comes around
You can hide, you can lie, you can try to pretend
But the cycle keeps spinning, it will never end
Karma's a mirror, it'll turn you around
What goes around, comes around
You thought you were clever, playing with fire
But the flames you lit just grew higher and higher
Now the tables are turning, you're feeling the heat
The path you've chosen is where you'll meet
All the wrongs that you've tried to deny
Now you're looking at them with open eyes
It's a hard lesson, but you'll learn it somehow
What you've given out will come back around
What goes around comes around, that's the way it goes
The seeds that you planted, now the garden grows
You can't outrun the truth, it's always found
What goes around, yeah, comes around
You can hide, you can lie, you can try to pretend
But the cycle keeps spinning, it will never end
Karma's a mirror, it'll turn you around
What goes around, comes around
You can chase the wind, but it'll never be tamed
What you give, you'll always claim
You can try to fight, you can try to win
But it's the way of life, it's the way it's been
Every tear that you made someone cry
Will circle back, and you'll ask why
But don't forget, the love you gave
It'll come back to you, to heal and save
What goes around comes around, that's the way it goes
The seeds that you planted, now the garden grows
You can't outrun the truth, it's always found
What goes around, yeah, comes around
You can hide, you can lie, you can try to pretend
But the cycle keeps spinning, it will never end
Karma's a mirror, it'll turn you around
What goes around, comes around
So take a step back, see the world spin 'round
What you give, you'll get back, hands to the ground
What goes around, comes around
Yeah, what goes around, comes around
