MERRY-GO-ROUND
Lights are shinning bright - see the future and the past
Soon it´s moving slow - soon it´s moving fast
Sometimes life - is like the merry-go-round
It takes you far away - but only for a little while
And you feel like crying - but you try just a little smile
Sometimes life - is like the merry-go-round
As I stand nearly aside - just start to wonder why
But I don´t jump up - and I don´t pass by
Someone jumps up and someone jumps down
The circles in life - are moving round - like the merry-go-round
Out in the night - when the dark gets even thicker
See through the haze - see flashes of light flicker
Sometimes life - is like the merry-go-round
When the music sounds bright - got to listen to the sound
Sometimes you´re up - and sometimes you´re down
Sometimes life - is like the merry-go-round
As I stand nearly aside - just start to wonder why
But I don´t jump up - and I don´t pass by
Someone jumps up and someone jumps down
The circles in life - are moving round - like the merry-go-round
Laughter and crying - everybody is standing in line
Short as each and every life - in the endless space of time
Sometimes life - is like the merry-go-round
Lights are shinning bright - see the future and the past
Soon it´s moving slow - soon it´s moving fast
Sometimes life - is like the merry-go-round
As I stand nearly aside - just start to wonder why
But I don´t jump up - and I don´t pass by
Someone jumps up and someone jumps down
The circles in life - are moving round - like the merry-go-round
