“Round and Round” was the Prince-produced first single from R&B singer Tevin Campbell’s debut album T.E.V.I.N.
Sometimes this philosophy has been hidden from the public and at other times it has been placed in plain view – though always in such a way as to remain unrecognized by outsiders.
Can you tell me where we’re going to?
Can you tell me what it is we really want to find?
Is the truth really there?
Or is it right under our hair?
For all we know it’s been there all the time
They shall then know truth and, more than that,
they shall realize that from the beginning
truth has been in the world unrecognized.
I found the pieces in my hand –
They were always there,
It just took some time for me to understand
I say, nothing comes from dreamers but dreams
I say, sitting idle in our boat while everyone else is down the stream
Nothing comes from talkers but sound
We can talk all we want to,
but the world still goes around and round
Round and round
We go round and round and round…
Up and down
And in the end it’s only
round and round
…And what we’re looking for
still isn’t found
U2
I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For
I must be looking for something –
Something sacred I lost –
But the river is wide,
and it’s too hard to cross
Round and round and round and round we go –
Where we’re gonna stop nobody knows
Would be sure to set you spinnin’
with you feet never touchin’ the ground –
And I’m round and round and round and
round and round and round and round
Round and round
and round and round
and round we go
So, ’round and around and around we go –
Where the world’s headed,
nobody knows
The Temptations
Ball of Confusion (That’s What the World Is Today)
We’re on a ride to nowhere,
come on inside –
Taking that ride to nowhere,
we’ll take that ride
Is the truth really there?
Or is it right under our hair?
For all we know it’s been there all the time.
The shit’s over their head,
but under their nose –
Not a star cause I’m a sun
when it comes to a flow –
Ya know?
What goes up must come down –
What goes ’round must come ’round –
What’s been lost must be found
I hope it doesn’t take the rest of my life,
until I find what it is that I’ve been looking for
