Carousel

Up and down, around the magic circle
Into wonderland,
Flying, floating fantasies of
Fearless fairies flying high.
Wait for no one,
Casting eyes and casting fate
To gentle winds,
Dancing to a lively muse
Who knows no lullaby.

Newly indestructible,
Mounted on a faithful steed,
Armored in imagination,
Sally forth with shield and sword.
Slaying dragons, tilting windmills,
Rescuing the maiden fair,
Seeking justice in the end
To be its own reward.

There are cares and grave concerns
That must be brought to bear,
But only when the ride is done
Will I be forced to care.
