[Verse 1]
I’m a fool in repeating my plans and a fool's right calling my name
I'm a fool to relate to you with all the things I do and say
Am I a fool to ignore them?
How else shall I go on?
Am I a fool to expect that someday I'm gonna be gone?
[Refrain]
All you've been around
All you've seen
All you've been around
Slowly turning
[Chorus]
Feels right 'cause it seems right
And it feels right 'cause it means right
How long, how long, how long you gonna call my name?
How long you gonna feel this way?
[Verse 2]
Our fears lie in a perception of a view that causes calm
Our hunger lives in a cave, one of family dead and gone
Well, am I a fool to ignore them?
How else shall I go on?
Am I a fool to expect that someday I'm gonna be gone?
[Refrain]
All you've been around
All you've seen
All you've been around
Slowly turning
[Chorus]
Feels right 'cause it seems right
And it feels right 'cause it means right
How long, how long, how long you gonna call my name?
How long you gonna feel this way?
[Refrain]
Oh you’ve been around
All you’ve seen
Oh you’ve been around
Slowly hurting
[Instrumental]
