Watching the Wheels Go Round and Round

People say I’m crazy
Doing what I’m doing
Well, they give me all kinds of warnings
To save me from ruin

When I say that I’m okay,
well they look at me kinda strange
“Surely, you’re not happy now,
you no longer play the game“

People say I’m lazy
Dreaming my life away
Well they give me all kinds of advice
Designed to enlighten me

When I tell them that I’m doing fine
watching shadows on the wall
“Don’t you miss the big time boy,
you’re no longer on the ball?”

I’m just sitting here watching the wheels
go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go

Ah, people ask me questions
Lost in confusion
Well, I tell them there’s no problem
Only solutions

Well, they shake their heads
and they look at me as if I’ve lost my mind
I tell them there’s no hurry,
I’m just sitting here doing time

I’m just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round

I just had to let it go
I just had to let it go
I just had to let it go

Can’t keep my eyes from the circling sky

Pink Floyd
Learning to Fly

Crooked wheels keep turning
Children, are you learning?

The Killers
This Is Your Life

Teach the children quietly
For some day sons and daughters
Will rise up and fight while we stood still

Mike + The Mechanics
Silent Running
