about

An elder told me that everyone has a story. Every decision and every path we walk changes who we are. (Lynden)

lyrics

They were brothers, best friends
Young, wild and free
In their hearts they believed
They always would be

The shimmering wreck
Way out past the waves
Looked like a carousel
Out in the bay

We all have a story
It shapes who we are
Some light and lifting
Others tangled and scarred

There’s a merry-go-round
In the sea
The ocean is gleaming
Come away with me

He remembers the summer glare
Heat of the sun
His brother leaving
The war had begun

There’s a merry-go-round
In the sea
The ocean is gleaming
Come away with meSo take the time to listen
To the old man’s stories
To the children’s worries
To the yearning in your heart

Take the time to listen
To turn and look back
To change and change tack
To make a new start.

They met again
A ways down the track
One looking forward
The other looking back

We all have a story
As we travel our way
When we return
It’s never the same

There’s a merry-go-round
In the sea
The ocean is gleaming
Come away with me

There’s a merry-go-round
In the sea
The ocean is gleaming
Come away with me
