Whirling, flashing, passing me by
The music goes on.
People come, and people go
But the music goes on.

Twisting, changing, it coils
Like a snake trying to get free.
Break free of the barrier
Laugh, cry for eternity.

Catch me before I fall
I want to see the dawn
Keep me steady
Let the music go on.

Eyes watch me as
I fight back the tears
Emotions are gifts
Made of love and fears.

Was it meant to be this way?
We are so small in the world.
I staggered, trying to watch it all
But the vision had furled.

Give them little, they want it all
Keep them yearning, always
Ignore the crying, keep it coming
Yes, from here for all days.
