Sit and wait for the day
|
Where your life might change
|
And that day never comes
|
This is rule number one
|
All the changes must come from you
|
Is the second rule
|
Take a long way round
|
See the sights, hear sounds
|
Where you'll go, nobody knows
|
|
Been this way
|
Since the day
|
I was born
|
Far away
|
And the walk
|
In the rain
|
Makes you feel
|
Young again
|
|
I assumed
|
You would be my strength
|
Oh, how wrong I was
|
That's the wrong way round
|
How you need me now
|
The carrousel keeps turning still
|
|
This one cried, this one smiled
|
But we all felt alive
|
Like a walk in the rain
|
Made us feel young again
|
With the crowd singing "all right now"
|
As the rain came down
|
It's a long way home
|
But we're not alone
|
Life's carrousel keeps turning still
|
|
Life keeps turning around, and around
|
We keep learning from things we have found
|
Overground
|
|
What a fool
|
To believe
|
I could help
|
You to breathe
|
Getting cold
|
In the rain
|
Makes us feel
|
Young again
|
|
If you go
|
Take a long way round
|
You'll be lost then found
|
It's a long way home
|
But you're not alone
|
The carrousel bring you back again
|
|
Winter comes
|
We don't have a choice
|
As we grow
|
We will find a voice
|
She looks over her shoulder
|
The swimming pool freezes over
|
We'll skate to the other side
|
Full of life
|
Still filled with pride
|
