ROUND WE GO

(written by Kenneth Cope)

 

Wheels keep turning

Winter bows to spring

Blossoms burning

From summer’s crippling heat

Change remains the constant scene

Who can elude it

Who’ll escape the sting

 

Joy and laughter

As rain falls from the sky

The thirsty gather

While the skeptic steps inside

Well, take your chances and let it ride

Or satisfy your lacking

And store some more besides

Before the riverbeds run dry

 

Round we go

For the ride of our lives

The highs and the lows

To the left or the right

Hot to cold

Clay to gold

Round we go

 

Continuation

Sinai stays ablaze

Illumination

Through the thorny maze

But there’s trouble in the camp today

Some are heading back to Pharaoh

For separation shade

From the mountain’s fiery gaze

 

Round we go

For the ride of our lives

The highs and the lows

To the left or the right

Hot to cold

Clay to gold

Round we go

 

We’re all in the circle

But where in the circle?
