Full Circle

I'm surprised I haven't come onto this one yet. Guess I've spent an awful long time focusing on the now and nothing else. While it's often dangerous to dwell in the past it is often useful, helpful and amazingly reassuring to be able to look back and see how far you've come. Makes me think of a few folk...

Full Circle by Aerosmith ranks up there with some of the more sentimental tracks I've got. As with most songs, it's what you take that is really the important stuff. While there must be 101 meanings behind this one, I prefer to see it as a "seize the moment" kinda song.

Yeah

If I could change the world
Like a fairy tale
I would drink the love
From your holy grail

I would start with love
Tell ol' Beelzebub
To get outta town
'Cause you just lost your job

How did we get so affected
'Cause I think
Love is love reflected

Time
Don't let it slip away
Raise yo' drinkin' glass
Here's to yesterday
In Time
We're all gonna trip away
Don't piss Heaven off
We got Hell to pay
Come Full Circle

And if
There's a spell on you that
I could take away
I would do the deed
Yeah, and by the way
Here's to Heaven knows
As the circle goes
It ain't right
I'm uptight
Yeah, get off my toes!

I used to think that every little thing I did was crazy
But now I think the Karma cops are comin' after you

Time
Don't let it slip away
Raise yo' drinkin' glass
Here's to yesterday
In Time
We're all gonna trip away
Don't piss Heaven off
We got Hell to pay
Come Full Circle

Every time you get yourself caught up
Inside of someone else's crazy dream
Own it, yeah, that's a mistake
Everybody's gotta lot o' nada killing
Them instead of killing time

Time
Don't let it slip away
Raise yo' drinkin' glass
Here's to yesterday
In Time
We're all gonna trip away
Don't piss Heaven off
We got Hell to pay
Come Full Circle

Circle, circle...


Time don't let it slip away, do something today that's worth while drinking to tomorrow.
