"Time is a carousel
and our life is our brass ring
we are saddled to it at birth
and with each year that comes around
we reach and grab for everything
the future holds, but if we miss
our lives grow shorter inch by inch
until we tumble from times ride of bliss
and some new life will come to claim
the saddle that we left behind
in an endless circle eons old
where the length of our ride’s undisclosed
in an endless transferring of souls……
In an endless transferring of Souls……"
When I think of all the years
that have crawled slowly by,
filled with loved ones being born
and watching others die,
on this carousel of TIME
that spins on endlessly,
I begin to see the beauty of eternity,
whirling past me in a blur
until I almost cease to breathe.
All those times I took for granted
come to haunt my soul
they're the brass rings that I missed
and each one takes its toll,
as this sweet ride of my life
slows down and others wait........
to claim the horse I rode in on
.... and celebrate.
the ride of their lives
the ride of their lives
Chorus-
Be sure to stretch beyond
your wildest dreams to grab those rings,
laugh and sing as life goes whirling by,
cling to all the good it brings,
share your joy with those around you,
through the ups and downs that come,
then you'll hobble away happy
when your ride is finally done
when your ride is finally done
Tiny toddlers with bright eyes
of hope look forward to
all the dreams that I was saddled to
in my pursuits,
so I'll smile as I pass by them
give each a little nod,
till they ride off towards tomorrow
and I go to meet my God.
in a much more stable place
with Heaven’s glory on my face
There will be one final dizzy journey
we all have to make
on a horse with wings, to where angels sing,
what a glorious ride we'll take,
and the master of all life will grant us
each...... one more brass ring,
that will float above our heads as halos,
Heaven's personal bling.
Heaven's personal bling.
Chorus-
Be sure to stretch beyond
your wildest dreams to grab those rings,
laugh and sing as life goes whirling by,
cling to all the good things
share your joy with those around you,
through the up and downs that come,
then you'll hobble away happy
when your ride is finally done.
yeah, you'll hobble away happy
when your ride is finally done......
"Time is a carousel
and life is our brass ring
we are saddled to it at our birth
and with each year that comes around
we reach and grab for everything
the future holds, but if we miss
our lives grow shorter inch by inch
until we tumble from times ride of bliss
and some new life will come to claim
that saddle that we left behind
in an endless circle eons old
where the length of our ride’s undisclosed
in an endless transferring of souls……
In an endless transferring of Souls……"
