Love goes out, out like a light 
Out like a flame, and you can't find it anymore 
Just when you think it's lost in the rain  [bad word] back knocking at your door 

It's the wheel of the world turning around 
It's the wheel of the world turning around 
And around 

God put us here on this carnival ride 
We close our eyes 
Never knowing where it will take us next 
Babies are born and at the same time, someone's taking their last breath 

It's the wheel of the world 
It's the wheel of the world turning around 

In the blink of an eye 
It can change your life 
And it never even slows down 

It's the wheel of the world 

I don't know what it is 
I'm flying high 
Then I'm wondering why I'm sinking on this ship, going down 
Life keeps on moving anyway 

It's the wheel of the world 
It's the wheel of the world turning around 
It's the wheel of the world 
It's the wheel of the world turning around 
It's the wheel of the world turning around 
And around 
And around 
It's the wheel of the world turning around 

It can open your heart 
It can break you apart 
And it never even slows down 

It's the wheel of the world turning around 
It's the wheel of the world turning around 
It's the wheel of the world turning around 
It's the wheel of the world turning around 
And around
