Merry Go Round (旋转木马) - Antje Duvekot[00:00:00]
Someone is tossing petals in a stream[00:00:13]
Somewhere someone is standing at the foothills of their dreams[00:00:16]
Someone got a paintbrush is painting over doubts[00:00:19]
Someone opened up his eyes and saw the sun coming out[00:00:22]
Someone was captive and found the courage to get off[00:00:26]
From a boulder in the well somewhere the rain has stopped[00:00:29]
Someone is finding the place where they belong[00:00:32]
Everyday is summer somewhere in the world[00:00:39]
And the summer boys are headed for the falls to kiss the girls[00:00:42]
With their impatient hands groping honey breasts and curls[00:00:45]
They are filled with desire[00:00:48]
And high in the hills there's a baby being born[00:00:52]
As forgiveness and peace wash over bruises and sores[00:00:55]
People bridging the distance over nettles and thorns[00:00:58]
Everyone aboard on the merry go round[00:01:05]
Some things will rise up so that others come down[00:01:08]
If the devil don't dance heaven won't shine[00:01:11]
It's a mighty thick haze and it's a pretty thin line[00:01:14]
If the facuet is tightened up the love won't flow[00:01:17]
If the love isn't bright enough the corn won't grow[00:01:21]
If the night isn't dark enough the moon won't glow[00:01:24]
A rich man counting money a tired man counting sheep[00:01:31]
While the safe man counts his blessings the hungry man has beans[00:01:33]
There's a million people praying raising up their eyes[00:01:37]
To what turns out to be the same god the same sky[00:01:40]
We are slightly scared of death a little bit afraid[00:01:44]
So we celebrate everything we can think to celebrate[00:01:47]
We shall sing out loud to keep the hounds away[00:01:50]
Everyone aboard on the merry go round[00:01:57]
Some things will rise up so that others come down[00:02:00]
If the devil don't dance heaven won't shine[00:02:03]
It's a mighty thick haze and it's a pretty thin line[00:02:07]
If the facuet is tightened up the love won't flow[00:02:10]
If the love isn't bright enough the corn won't grow[00:02:13]
If the night isn't dark enough the moon won't glow[00:02:16]
Prisons will crumble and governments will fall[00:02:23]
It's the order of freedom to be preceded by walls[00:02:26]
Cause the truth would be worthless if no one ever lied[00:02:29]
So we carry our shame in the interest of pride[00:02:32]
And we have all these questions to make us go roam[00:02:36]
And we've got all this distance to make us come home[00:02:39]
As the sun burns a child learns the tide churns the world turns[00:02:42]
Everyone aboard on the merry go round[00:02:49]
Some things will rise up so that others come down[00:02:52]
If the devil don't dance heaven won't shine[00:02:55]
It's a mighty thick haze and it's a pretty thin line[00:02:58]
If the facuet is tightened up the love won't flow[00:03:02]
If the love isn't bright enough the corn won't grow[00:03:05]
If the night isn't dark enough the moon won't glow[00:03:08]
Everyone aboard on the merry go round[00:03:15]
Some things will rise up so that others come down[00:03:18]
If the devil don't dance heaven won't shine[00:03:21]
It's a mighty thick haze and it's a pretty thin line[00:03:24]
If the facuet is tightened up the love won't flow[00:03:28]
If the love isn't bright enough the corn won't grow[00:03:31]
If the night isn't dark enough the moon won't glow[00:03:34]
