Once the Tables Have Turned
You may be sitting high and mighty now my friend
but you will not always be
for your unearned happiness will one day end
should you live long enough, you'll definitely see.
Your only interests in life is having fun
you're the life of the party, or so it seems
but you must one day pay for the wrong that you've done
and explain why you've killed so many dreams.
You fail to remember all of the hearts that you've broken
as well as all of the mean things that you've said
you never apologize for any of your lies
you just pretend that it never happened instead.
Your friends think you're the best, maybe even a star
while inside, you're dirty and rotten
you may choose to forget who you really are
but believe me, God has not forgotten.
You've lied and cheated to get your way
you've stepped on many to get to the top
you'll suffer for these decisions that you've made, one day
and then that ball that you're having will drop.
I am not wishing anything bad on you
believe me, I wish you the best
however, there are consequences for all that you do
and you are swinging at a hornet's nest.
You think that you already know everything
yet there is one thing that you haven't yet learned
you see, I happen to know, that we reap what we sew
and you will too, once the tables have turned.
