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
It comes 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'll 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, but 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
