Funny how the circle turns around First your up and then your down again Though the circle takes what it may give Each time around it makes you live again Funny how the circle is a wheel And it can steal someone who is a friend Funny how the circle takes your flight And if it's it right it brings you back again Funny how the circle turns around You think your lost and then you're found again Though you always look for what you know Each time around it's something new again
