The World Spins On by Melodie Yvonne

Nobody here is right or wrong
And on and on the world spins on
You wanna know why I’m singing my song?
‘Cause on and on the world spins on
Not much time left ‘til we are gone
And on and on the world spins on
So don’t you fret just sing your song
‘Cause on and on the world spins on

Livin’ this life for the masses
Schoolin’ you from skippin’ classes
You can’t touch me I’m above it
Teach me lessons I’m gonna love it
You can’t keep me in detention
Guess I never thought to mention
I’ve not got too, many fucks left
Life is not a fucking contest

All my life I’ve gave up something
Come what may, I regret nothing
But I’ll always ask forgiveness
We all got a shade of wickedness
Fret not for who’s truly evil
On this plane we all are equal
So just love with all your soul
And let this gorgeous life unfold

Nobody here is right or wrong
And on and on the world spins on
You wanna know why I’m singing my song?
‘Cause on and on the world spins on
Not much time left ‘til we are gone
And on and on the world spins on
So don’t you fret just sing your song
‘Cause on and on the world spins on
