And there is no need to worry,
the pages keep on turning
And it goes on and on, comes all the way around
There is no need to hurry if there's a fire burning
'Cause it goes on and on, comes all the way around
All the way around
Hey, around
Oh (All the way around), c'mon
Ain't broke, ain't broke, don't fix it
Your highs, your lows, just ride it
