Lyrics

I want to know… what is this life all about?
Where do we go? Do you believe… or do you doubt?
I only know… life is a Ferris wheel.
It turns around and sets you down
where you started out.

I see a cloud… and you see figures that dance
I hear the sea… and you hear laughter and romance.
We’re not the same… but somehow, we took a chance
that we could build a common dream
and uncommon peace.

People will tell you “The world as we know it is ending
and you had better get ready, and figure out how to survive.”
and people will tell you that “Life isn’t really worth living –
it’s way too much of a struggle and nobody gets out alive.”

I only know… that we awake with the morning sun.
I only know… that what we do cannot be undone.
I only know… we’ll do the best we can
and then we’ll watch as the colors fade
in the setting sun.

People will tell you “The world as we know it is ending
and you had better get ready, and figure out how to survive.”
and people will tell you that “Life isn’t really worth living –
it’s way too much of a struggle and nobody gets out alive.”

I want to know… what is this life all about?
Where do we go? Is there a light… once the candle’s out?
I only know… life is a Ferris wheel.
It turned around and set me down
where I started out… where I started out.
