The World Goes Round

THE WORLD GOES ROUND

The world goes round and every day
Another piece of our heaven seems to break away
I’ve seen the people live in harmony
But now it all seems like a dream
And when I woke up and looked for a friend
I realized that time had moved upstream

The world goes round

The world goes round
The years go by
And no one dares to wonder
Or to question “why”

There was a time when the Mother Nature
Took from the earth and gave it light
But now that my brother has broken her freedom
The day will fade to an endless night

The world goes round

The world goes round and every day
Another piece of our heaven seems to break away

Freedom, peace and understanding
Is it really just a dream
And the time runs by

The world goes round and every day
Another piece of our heaven seems to break away
The world goes round
And the years go by
And no one dares to question
Or to wonder “why”
