Pain and misery, it all seem to follow me
Wherever I go, 'ever I go, 'ever I go
I can't change the past but it's always coming back
Wherever I go, 'ever I go, 'ever I go

Ah ah
Ah ah

And now I repeat the things that they did to me
They did to me, they did to me, they did to me
I'm getting older. Still look over my shoulder
So I don't repeat, I won't repeat, I won't repeat

I tried to forgive them, I tried to forget
Though they had forgotten, I'm sorry I can't
Now I'm both the victim and I am to blame
For all the things that I am
I am

It would do me good to hear them admit the truth
Straight to my face, yeah to my face, yeah to my face
I'm afraid it is too late to ever say I never made
The same mistakes, the same mistakes, the same mistakes

I tried to forgive them, I tried to forget
Though they had forgotten, I'm sorry I can't
Now I'm both the victim and I am to blame
For all the things that I am

I am
I am
I am

It goes round and round this ancestry
Weaving our spirits for centuries
And it goes on and on and on
The wheel's ever turning
