The world is round
    Until we walk right off the edge
    Our lives are poised
    Forever teetering on a ledge

    Endless circles
    Round and round
    Until it stops
    Without a sound

    The world is round
    A perfect, spinning, sparkling sphere
    Our lives are strung
    Stitched up with love and glued with fear

    Unravelling
    Start to end
    We fall apart
    We lose a friend

    The world is round
    But it may just as well be flat
    Our lives are linked
    Forever breaching this and that

    No matter what
    We reap behind
    What counts is how
    We sowed our time
