Merry Go Round
Finding Stillness in Life's Whirlwind: Terri Clark's Merry Go RoundLyrics
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'
