Merry Go Round

Merry Go Round by Kathryn Cloward and Rich Wiley

I can’t go on this ride with you
Around and around like we do
It’s so hard to stop and let go
Change everything that you know

Agreeing to just disagree
No longer does it for me
It hurts me to leave and to say
But I’ve just got to get away

And it’s time to step down
Off this merry go round
Changing my point of view
Is just something, something that I’ve got to do
I’m looking to see what could be
As I step down off this merry go round

Time is a gift now I see
Calm where the storm used to be
Unsure in the space that’s before
My hands shake as I open the door

Stepping out into the new
Changes that I’m growing through
Shiny brass rings in the past
Reaching out for the things that will last

And it’s time to step down
Off this merry go round
Changing my point of view
Is just something, something that I’ve got to do
And it’s time to step down
Off this merry go round
Changing my point of view
Is just something, something that I’ve got to do
I’m looking to see what could be
As I step down off this merry go round
