My mind can’t stop spinning Tales of what could be It’s like a carousel going round for all the world to see The thoughts they seem coherent when at first they cross my mind Then time and turns spin them into complete and utter chaos
Where do they come from? Why don’t they make sense? It’s not just the spinning creating a mess of my thoughts It’s the simultaneous ups and downs of life Combining to create confusion run amuck
Why can’t life be simple? Can’t I make these thoughts stop? What seems good at first gets spun round and round Before you know what’s happening, temptation runs aground The constant motion of this carousel of life Can turn a simple situation into a crisis in your mind
A turning point What will you do? The choice is up to you Stay on board and ride it out, enjoying the short-lived fun Or take a stand and prepare yourself for what ‘ere lies ahead
This ride never stops – it just changes its tune So it’s up to you whether you stay on board or jump on off this spinning machine It’s called a leap of faith – temptations left behind You’ve done it now and survived your leap Not sure where you would land
You know by now this carousel will never go away Round and round it will always spin Luring you back if it can One day for sure you’ll find yourself back for yet another ride When that time comes remind yourself you’re stronger now then you once were Have confidence in your ability to conquer what ‘ere comes your way
