Still Higher Than the Sea

How many times have you gone through
Do you ever see what it’s for
Keep on trying to escape the blue
After awhile, you can’t ignore
The shining lights, burn on you
When you’re time has come up
Do what you want, try to move
No escape, you are stuck
Some call it the merry go round
Others the ride is free
Either way, on the ground
But still higher than the sea
It might seem fun for awhile at first
A child with no rules
Before you know it, only gets worse
Nothing more, than a mule
Still alive, your legs are strong
Have learned how to kick
Play the fool when going wrong
Learn another trick
Some call it the merry go round
Others the ride is free
Either way, on the ground
But still higher than the sea
You’re older now, what has changed
Or is it all on you
How many times, do you feel strange
Breaking from the noose
It’s no matter, you can try again
Sooner or later some say
No more recycling, thin to win
Before the end of the day
Some call it the merry go round
Others the ride is free
Either way, on the ground
But still higher than the sea
