See the gambler make a stand
Holds a lifetime in his hand
Win the game or lose control

But the world goes on forever
Life's a circle, I recall
Shadows played upon the wall

You pay the piper to call the tune
And the song goes on forever


And when all the words have gone
There's the thought to carry on
Just like a bird that sings

Leave it all behind and spread your wings
You can leave it all behind - spread your wings


Lay me down
Saw the road move on before me
Times when I was tired and lost my way

Looking at life and strangely for the first time
Thinking that I could stay here
But the world moves on forever


And when all the words have gone
There's the thought to carry on

Just like a bird that sings
Leave it all behind and spread your wings
You can leave it all behind - spread your wings
