Wow if you live long enough you will get dizzy
For life is full of many circles.
Circles of cycles,
That take you right back to your roots
Hair roots, grass roots, and umbilical roots
Oh yeah life will take you back, even while moving forward
And the forward march is on the way down to the end
We work so hard only to reflect on the day’s pasts
And hope for our shortening future in forecast
Oh yeah life takes you in cycles
Enemies who were once friends
Come humbly face to face with you again
What did you fight about
No one can recall
You hold each other with regret for time lost and ball
Life takes you in circles that erase foolish cares
The child rocked in your loving arms
Now walks away down the isle in another’s led away by their charm
You wore diapers you changed diapers, now you wear them again, nothings changed
It may be new to you, but in life it is prearranged
For life will take you in a circle of cycles.
The dizzy better get busy before they lose their stand
Once a child once a man and an interim of lessons to learn and understand
Life looks long to a child
A well-learned man grasps at his fleeting years like straws
Drowning in a sea of expired time years like months,
Months like weeks, weeks like days, days are passing moments
Yeah life will take you in cycles
And the faster and smaller they will go
And dizziness becomes the flow
Chance and opportunity are far and in between
So while the cycle is enlarged take each step with care
The rhythm will come though your pace will go
For life is a circle of cycles
Circle of choices,
At long last the circle will end
A flat line with no more camber to live in.
