Too many billion people Runnin' around the planet What is the chance in heaven That you'd find your way to me Tell me, what is the sweet sensation It's a miracle that's happend Though I searched for an explanation Only one thing it could be That I was born for you It was written in the stars Yes, I was born for you And the choice was never ours It says if the powers of the universe Conspire to make you mine Until the day I die I bless the day that I was born for you Yesterday a child came out to wonder Caught a dragonfly inside a jar Fearful when the sky was full of thunder And tearful at the falling of a star Then the child moved ten times round the seasons Skated over ten clear frozen streams Words like, when you're older, must appease him And promises of someday make her dreams And the seasons they go round and round And the painted ponies go up and down We're captive on a carousel of time We can't return we can only look Behind from where we came And go round and round and round In the circle game So the years spin by and now the girl is twenty Though her dreams have lost some grandeur coming true There'll be new dreams, maybe better dreams and plenty Before the last revolving year is through And the seasons they go round and round And the painted ponies go up and down We're captive on a carousel of time We can't return, we can only look Behind from where we came And go round and round and round In the circle game And go round and round and round In the circle game
