Life goes on like a carousel   Life goes on, a never-ending tale   Of love reborn, from the cradle warm   A web is spun for every mother's son      Life goes on like a spinning wheel   Life goes on, never standing still   The Gods decide how blessed am I   The days to come for every mother's son      And these footprints in the sand, maybe nothing grand   But if we leave a mark in somebody's heart   What more can I say than I was a king for a day   Once the web is spun for every mother's son      Life goes on like a tapestry   Life goes on, each thread a part of me   That master plan of who I am   A day will come for every mother's son      And these footprints in the sand, maybe nothing grand   But if we leave a mark in somebody's heart   What more can I say than I was a king for a day   Once the web is spun for every mother's son      A thorn a winter rose, some highs and then some lows   That's the way it's spun for every mother's son   Every mother's son
