And I sat right down on the hard, hard ground And I knew this was the finding of myself And my life stood still and I looked around And I saw for the first time who I am
And the whole world started singing As the last, last song went down And the whole world started laughing As the sun sprang from the ground
And the whole world started crying As the rain came falling down And we all just stood there watching As the world went round and round
There's a time that's made for living There's a time that's made for pain And you feel the world turn over And it brings you back again
As a tiny child-like figure You are staring face to face With the one who is the giver And you turn to take your place
And the whole world started singing As the last, last song went down And the whole world started laughing As the sun sprang from the ground
And the whole world started crying As the rain came falling down And we all just stood there watching As the world went round and round
