Carousel of Play

Verse 1

Candles

March across the ceiling

Tiny sparks in flight

Hats with wings are singing songs to the night

Ladders lean against clouds

Wobble

They bend

Footsteps laugh behind you

Around each hidden bend

Mirrors wink as if they know every secret thought

Colors spin

Patterns

Caught

Chorus

Step step step around

Let the shadows sway

Step step step around

In a carousel of play

Twist your mind

Twist your mind

Let the shapes combine

Everything is shifting

Yet somehow still aligns

Verse 2

Clocks

Wear umbrellas

Sideways through the air

Paintings float off the wall with nobody there

Umbrellas giggle softly

Tapping

Your head

Lanterns hum lullabies

As they curl around the bed

Crystals grow on the ceiling like stars you can hold

Every movement

Ancient

Bold

Chorus

Step step step around

Let the shadows sway

Step step step around

In a carousel of play

Twist your mind

Twist your mind

Let the shapes combine

Everything is shifting

Yet somehow still aligns

Verse 3

Tables

Sprout tiny legs

Walk across the room

Books flap open like birds in the afternoon

Candies melt into letters

Spell

New sound

Shoes float gently upward

Spinning all around

Whispers of polka-dot elephants ripple through space

Time wears

Funny

Face

Chorus

Step step step around

Let the shadows sway

Step step step around

In a carousel of play

Twist your mind

Twist your mind

Let the shapes combine

Everything is shifting

Yet somehow still aligns

Verse 4

Windows

Hum in colors

You have never met

Chairs tap dance in rhythms you will never forget

Lanterns unfold like paper

Into

New forms

Thoughts ignite fireworks

And then transform

Tiny clocks perform operas on the floor

Everything bends

Little

More

Chorus

Step step step around

Let the shadows sway

Step step step around

In a carousel of play

Twist your mind

Twist your mind

Let the shapes combine

Everything is shifting

Yet somehow still aligns

Verse 5

Jellybean

Moons float

Through patchwork skies

Toy soldiers salute while elephants fly

Paper cranes twist into

Impossible

Forms

Time folds in corners

Then escapes the norms

Everything giggles quietly at the edge of your gaze

Night stretches

Million

Ways

Chorus

Step step step around

Let the shadows sway

Step step step around

In a carousel of play

Twist your mind

Twist your mind

Let the shapes combine

Everything is shifting

Yet somehow still aligns

Outro

Today is here

And tomorrow is already gone

Tomorrow is already gone

Today is here

And tomorrow is already gone

Coda Verse

Spinning top dreams glide softly through the floor

Shadows blink in spirals never seen before

Cobwebs sing puzzles, winding down the walls

Raindrops tiptoe lightly, answering unheard calls

Furniture floats backward as daylight unwinds

Thoughts curl like petals in mosaics of the mind

Final Lines

Still you step, step, step around as the daylight sways

Everything is drifting, dissolving in playful arrays

Today is here, today is here, tomorrow is already gone

Gone, gone...
