How will this pan out? Search and wish, so loud, Keep a candle burning, To each his own shall learn.
[Chorus:] Before I turn in envy, I learn through sorrow, I turn in envy And go to the wall.
See how the colours run And feel your sunday rest, Give me a name, ring it in, Some change is for the best. Oh, I may not win the race, I may not reach the top, Oh I may not live your way, But it does not mean I'm stuck here, We may not fit the mould, Kind of going off now, The medicine inside takes a stronger hold.
[Chorus:] As we turn in envy, I learn through sorrow, I turn in envy And go to the wall. Before I learn in envy, I learn through sorrow, I learn in envy And go to the wall.
To the wall... [x6]
[Chorus:] Before I turn in envy, I learn through sorrow, I turn in envy And go to the wall. (To the wall... [repeats during singing chorus])
