Swings And Roundabouts

Life goes on, it never stops
It never lets you rest,
It grabs you firmly by the wrists
And puts you to the test.

It brings you joy, it brings you hope
It shows you what’s to gain,
Then it turns you upside down
And fills your heart with pain.

The sun comes out to warm your soul
To dry up all your tears,
Then lightning strikes, the sky turns grey
And highlights all your fears.

We all have dreams of going places
Heads filled with ambition,
But they get trampled in the race
It’s one big competition.

It’s better to have loved and lost
Than to never love at all,
But if I could take charge of my heart
In love I’d never fall.

To love in life, is to take a chance
We all have the power to choose,
But when that love is lost it hurts
We win only to lose.

We live, we love, and we muddle through
Uncertainty and doubts,
But when push comes to shove
It’s all just swings and roundabouts.
