Think It Over Lyrics
Reach inside yourself
Find what is left
Things go wrong

But you're still strong
Time heals almost everything
And the world outside
Doesn't need to let you in

Lay your own stepping stones
Think It over
Might not be today
You'll know what to do
When it all turns around
Think it over
Might not see the way
Right in front of you

But it all comes around
Back against the wall (many ways to fall down)
There are many ways to fall (you might change your mind)
Take your time

Change your mind (take your time)
Chorus
Solo
Take your time
Change your mind (take your time)
Think it over
Might not be today
You'll know what to do
When it all turns around
Think it over
Might not see the way
Right in front of you
But it all
Yes it all
Comes around




Comes around
Comes around
