Constant changes, clashing forces
Pushing, pulling, just as they please
Dialectic contradictions
From a gale to a gentle breeze
Opposites confront each other
Act and react repeatedly
Waking, sleeping, laughing, weeping
Turning points - eternally
CHORUS: We’re on a whirling world
A swirling, whirling world
And now we go around
Again we go around
And now we spin around
We’re standing on the ground
But still we go around
Transform and go around
We spin around the sun
We run until we’re done
And when our spin has spun
Another spin’s begun
We’re in a spiral spin
An endless spiral spin
No matter lose or win
We see where we have been
Then we begin again
Another spiral spin
We’re down again around
And up again around
We’re up and then we’re down
We end then we begin
Another spiral spin
The spiral spin were in
Constant changes, clashing forces
Pushing, pulling, just as they please
Colder, hotter, teeter-totter
Ice cubes melt and then they freeze
Opposites confront each other
Act and react repeatedly
Popcorn popping, traffic stopping
Turning points – eternally.
REPEAT CHORUS (faster)
Constant changes, clashing forces
Pushing, pulling, just as they please
Tigers pouncing, footballs bouncing
Thunderclaps and stormy seas
Opposites confront each other
Act and react repeatedly
Seeing, blinking, swimming, sinking,
Turning points – eternally.
REPEAT CHORUS (faster still)
Constant changes, clashing forces
Until our life comes to an end.
