Merry Go Round
Finding Stillness in Life's Whirlwind: Terri Clark's Merry Go Round
Lyrics
I've been dreamin' and drivin' so fast for so long
I have been dreaming and driving at a fast pace for a long time.
Fallin' and climbin', fallin' and carryin' on
Falling, climbing, and carrying on in life's ups and downs.
Hell bent on stayin' one step ahead
Determined to stay one step ahead in life.
So caught up in the game, I can't catch my breath
Engulfed in the competitive game of life, finding it hard to pause and relax.
Livin' too bright to soak up the sun
Living too intensely, missing out on the simple joys of life.
Missin' the miles for the races I've run
Overlooking the experiences in pursuit of goals.
But I'm slowly slowin' me down
Starting to slow down and reflect on life.
Knowin' this world will go round
Acknowledging the cyclic nature of the world.
It'll keep goin' round even when I stop spinnin'
Life continues even when personal efforts cease.
I'm figurin' out it ain't all about winnin'
Realizing that life is not solely about winning.
You ride like the wind
Comparing life to riding with the wind, embracing its force.
Smile like a child
Savoring life with the innocence and joy of a child.
Land with both feet on the ground
Returning to reality with a grounded perspective.
The trick is to know when to let go of the merry go round
Understanding the importance of letting go of the constant cycle.
When the ride leaves you dizzy and life's such a blur
Feeling disoriented in life, where the present and past seem indistinguishable.
There's no difference between where you are and where you were
Life is moving too quickly, and a pause is needed.
It's movin' too fast, and God knows it will
Acknowledging the fast-paced nature of life, recognized by a higher power.
Sometimes you need some time sittin' still
Recognizing the need for stillness and contemplation.
And I'm slowly slowin' me down
Continuing the process of slowing down and self-reflection.
Knowin' this world will go round
Reiterating the cyclic nature of the world.
It'll keep goin' round even when I stop spinnin'
Life persists even when personal activities cease.
I'm figurin' out it ain't all about winnin'
Understanding that life's essence is not solely about winning.
You ride like the wind
Metaphorically riding through life with strength and resilience.
Smile like a child
Maintaining a joyful and innocent outlook on life.
Land with both feet on the ground
Returning to reality with a balanced and grounded perspective.
The trick is to know when to let go of the merry go round
Emphasizing the importance of knowing when to break free from life's cycles.
You ride like the wind
Reiterating the metaphorical ride through life with strength.
Smile like a child
Continuing to embrace the joy and innocence of life.
Land with both feet on the ground
Returning to reality with a grounded perspective, emphasizing balance.
The trick is to know when to let go
Stressing the importance of knowing when to let go.
The trick is to know when to let go of the merry go round
Reiterating the key concept of knowing when to release from life's constant cycles.
Oh this merry go round
Concluding with a poetic reference to the cyclical nature of life.
