Lyrics:

Verse One
Climb up! All aboard, you have no choice on the merry-go-round of life.  
Will the horse you fancy run fast or slow? Will the carnival drown out your voice?

Chorus

Joy in each day bravely flying round and round. 
Do you spin fast,
leaving time past,
amid steam whistle billowing sound.


Verse Two

Will time seem to you a journey long? Can they hear your cry whirling by?
Will the noise and colours blend into one, with no meaning, no purpose no song?

Chorus

Joy in each day bravely flying round and round.
Do you spin fast,
leaving time past,
amid steam whistle billowing sound.


Bridge

The passing parade it will judge you well, as you journey along up and down. 
For this is the ride of your life my friend. Can you keep a tight hold? Time will tell.

Verse Three

The tempo will change, do you belong? Will your knight charge galloping by? 
You're as one with music and brilliant light, in a bold life, inspiring and strong. 

Chorus

Joy in each day bravely flying round and round. 
Do you spin fast, 
leaving time past, 
amid steam whistle billowing sound. 


Verse Four

Climb up! All aboard, you have no choice on the merry-go-round of life.
 Despite where you sit you will have grand views, look around at the world and rejoice! 

Chorus

Joy in each day bravely flying round and round.
Do you spin fast, 
leaving time past, 
amid steam whistle billowing sound.

Look around at the world and rejoice.
