"Wheel of the World"

Sometimes, one day can seem like every door has been slammed in your face and your trapped within four walls.  Then, there are days when you feel like you have it.  You have a place in this world, you know exactly where you stand, and doors are OPEN.  Well, Friday, Sept. 16th, 2011, was that day for me.  Besides the fact that I had the best, most realistic horoscope I have ever had...haha, it took learning how to play this song on the piano for me to realize that I am meant for more in this life.  Apparently, I'm not the only one in the world that thinks that this semester is slowly killing me, and, that life is an uphill battle.  Well, playing this song was the equivalent of hitting pause on my life.  It made me realize that there are other people out there facing such a worse battle than I could imagine.  Learning this song came out of the clear blue, but I am so thankful that I did, after this past crazy week...truth be told, I needed perspective, desperately.

Blame it on my impecable, yet sometimes annoying, memory, in which I can never forget anything, or blame it on the fact that there is never anything better than a Hillary Lindsey written song.  I go with both.  Well, thank God, Aimee Mayo, whom I think is absolutely incredible, hasn't taken down the "Wheel of the World" demo from her...yes, you guessed it, Myspace.  Click on the link and you can hear the original version. http://www.myspace.com/littlebluetypewriter

This song is impeccably written.  There is not one of us out there that isn't in this song.  My favorite line from any song I have ever heard is in this totally underrated treasure: "God put us here on this carnival ride, we close our eyes never knowing where it will take us next."  Who writes like this?  Hillary Lindsey, Aimee Mayo, and Chris Lindsey.  If I was stranded on a desert island, Carnival Ride would be the only album I would need.  Not to mention it has my #1 all-time favorite song on there, but I will get to that later...Or 6 Hillary Lindsey written songs.

Song: "Wheel of the World"

Love goes out, out like a light
Out like a flame, and you can't find it anymore
Just when you think it's lost in the rain
It comes back knocking at your door

It's the wheel of the world turning around
It's the wheel of the world turning around
And around

God put us here on this carnival ride
We close our eyes
Never knowing where it will take us next
Babies are born and at the same time, someone's taking their last breath


It's the wheel of the world
It's the wheel of the world turning around

In the blink of an eye
It can change your life
And it never even slows down

It's the wheel of the world

I don't know what it is
I'm flying high
Then I'm wondering why I'm sinking on this ship, going down
Life keeps on moving anyway

It's the wheel of the world
It's the wheel of the world turning around
It's the wheel of the world
It's the wheel of the world turning around
It's the wheel of the world turning around
And around
And around
It's the wheel of the world turning around

It can open your heart
It can break you apart
And it never even slows down

It's the wheel of the world turning around
It's the wheel of the world turning around
It's the wheel of the world turning around
It's the wheel of the
world turning aroundAnd around
