Holds a lifetime in his hand
Win the game or lose control
But the world goes on forever
Life's a circle, I recall
Shadows played upon the wall
You pay the piper to call the tune
And the song goes on forever
And when all the words have gone
There's the thought to carry on
Just like a bird that sings
Leave it all behind and spread your wings
You can leave it all behind - spread your wings
Lay me down
Saw the road move on before me
Times when I was tired and lost my way
Looking at life and strangely for the first time
Thinking that I could stay here
But the world moves on forever
And when all the words have gone
There's the thought to carry on
Just like a bird that sings
Leave it all behind and spread your wings
You can leave it all behind - spread your wings
See the gambler make a stand Holds a lifetime in his hand Win the game or lose control But the world goes on forever Life's a circle, I recall Shadows played upon the wall You pay the piper to call the tune And the song goes on forever And when all the words have gone There's the thought to carry on Just like a bird that sings Leave it all behind and spread your wings You can leave it all behind - spread your wings Lay me down Saw the road move on before me Times when I was tired and lost my way Looking at life and strangely for the first time Thinking that I could stay here But the world moves on forever And when all the words have gone There's the thought to carry on Just like a bird that sings Leave it all behind and spread your wings You can leave it all behind - spread your wings Explain Request ×
