Why turn the tables, when you can rise
Resolution is always the best of revenge
But no need to fret about the trivial life
When you got a life of your own to live
Why turn the tricks, when you can be real
The streets are as good as the sheets
But there is a world in your little eye
When you look real closely can you feel it
[begin chorus]
Collect every thought in your mind
And think with sense not so common
Turn and burn in every way to renew
And learn how to take control of your life
[end chorus]
Why burn the bridges, when you can decide
Reliving life is the best of any revolution
But no need to worry about the new deal
When you got a line of life yourself to live
Why burn the babes, when you can defy death
The moment is as good as the eternity
But there is some water in your little hand
When you sip real softly can you feel it
[repeat chorus]
Why must you live your life so recklessly
Just stop and smell the air around you
Cherish it with every moment you are bound to life
Just start to think of your life in a new way
[repeat chorus]
Why must you ignore like you always did
Sit down and listen to the words I say
Why turn the tables, when you can rise
This is how you take control of your life
