lyrics

You say that you’ve got troubles
Well I’ve got troubles too
You’re saying that you’ve got no hope
And there’s nothing you can do

You’re going ‘round in circles
But there’s a path that’s been made straight
You’d better get on it now
Before it gets too late

Carousel Christian
You’re going round and round
Carousel Christian
Are you walking on solid ground
Carousel Christian
You need a guiding hand
To make it to the promised land

When you were just beginning
Everything was right
You hid the Word within your heart
And you walked within the light

But time gave way to passion
And you welcomed darkness in
And through your own complacency
You embraced the chains of sin

Carousel Christian
You’re going round and round
Carousel Christian
Well are you walking on solid ground
Carousel Christian
You need a guiding hand
To make it to the promised land

Carousel Christian
You’re going round and round
Carousel Christian
Are you walking on solid ground
Carousel Christian
You need a guiding hand
If you’re gonna make it
Are you gonna make it
Will you make it to the promised land

Like a carousel turning round and round
You ride while all the horses rise and fall
You ignore the truth that you have found
While disregarding your heavenly call
Living one life and yet wanting it all ...
