• The world keeps turnin'
  It gets merry like a merry go 'round
  It gets cold like a frozen winter
  Well I change like summer fall
  But I know love is all in all
  Seeds we're always sowing
  The grace is always blowing
  We've just got to lift the sail
  And we're bound to hit the shore
  We'll finally calm this storm.
