Round and round went the Ferris wheel
Birth, live, death in motion
What comes around goes around
Only to come back again
The wheel climbs higher
Horizons growing, eyes conquering
Perspectives change, the thrill of control
Breathes held tight, heart beats wild
You are the dancing queen
With the big wide world
In the palm of your hand
But in a second
Down she comes, the wind in your skirts
Gravity beckons, vision contracts
The world disappears
Just the Thames in your eyes
Perspectives change, losing control
Slower and still slower
Until the Eye shuts down
The fairies bid farewell
You are on the ground
Another takes your seat
And the wheel gathers speed
Everything remains as is
The world never changed
It was, it is and will ever be
New eyes, new perspectives
All that ended was your ride
