Whirlwind running through my head   Wasted words that people said   The wind is howling at my door   I don't listen anymore      The darkened sky blocks out the sun   Still reeling from the damage done   If I go out and chase that wind   I might not make it back again      Let 'em whirl, who am I to say   You gotta do things different   I know a better way   Let 'em whirl, there's a child in everyone   Who's got to ride the storm out   To see who'll they'll become   Let 'em whirl      The simple things are hard to see   I got you and you've got me   No cause left for us to fight   Being wrong's a God-given right      Let 'em whirl, who am I to say   You gotta do things different   I know a better way   Let 'em whirl, there's a child in everyone   Who's got to ride the storm out   To see who'll they'll become   Let 'em whirl      We all learn the hard way   We can't pretend to know   Where life is gonna lead us   Or which way the wind will blow   Let 'em whirl      Who am I to say   You gotta do things different   I know a better way   Let 'em whirl, there's a child in everyone   Who's got to ride the storm out   To see who'll they'll become   Let 'em whirl   Who am I to say   You gotta do things different   I know a better way   Let 'em whirl, there's a child in everyone   Who's got to ride the storm out   To see who'll they'll become   Let 'em whirl
