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 $$#umed
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
