Round and Round (Music & Lyrics by Steve Laurie: 6/93)

Round and round the world goes like a carousel
Up and down my life goes, like the horse on a carousel

What profit has a man of all his labor, which he takes under the sun
One generation passes away and another generation comes
The sun also rises and the sun goes down, the sun goes down
The wind goes to the south and turns to the north
It whirls continually around and …

Round and round the world goes like a carousel
Up and down my life goes, like the horse on a carousel
Round and round the world goes like a carousel
Up and down my life goes, like the horse on a carousel

The thing that has been well it is that which shall be
And that which is done is that which shall be done
Is there anything whereof it may be said ‘see this is new’
And there is no new thing under the sun just the earth turning round and round and …

Round and round the world goes like a carousel
Up and down my life goes, like the horse on a carousel
Round and round the world goes like a carousel
Up and down my life goes, like the horse on a carousel

The days of my life are a shadow
They pass and leave no trace on the earth
Should I pass the sun will still rise tomorrow
From dust I was taken and unto dust I shall return, I shall return

Round and round the world goes like a carousel
Up and down my life goes, like the horse on a carousel
Round and round the world goes like a carousel
Up and down my life goes, like the horse on a carousel
