Lyrics

Verse 1
Yesterday a girl went out to wonder
Chased a dragonfly beside a stream
Playful in the dawn light’s glowing colours
And faithful to the calling of her dreams

Chorus
And the wheels of life they spin round and round,
the racing pedals go up and down
We’re driven by an urgency inside
Ride so fast but when we get to where we’re going we will come
Full circle back to where we have begun

Verse 2
Girlhood yields to womanhood triumphant
Now marriage, work and children turn the wheels
Arms so full she hardly has a moment
To feel the joy that chases at her heels

Chorus

Verse 3
Children grow and find their own new orbit
The end of the monthly circle time draws near
Empty spaces fill her home and haunt her nights now
And she asks “why did I race my way to here?”

Chorus

Verse 4
Now she takes her time to watch the moments spinning
Emptiness and fullness merge to one
And she wonders at the beauty of the dusk light
And the dragonflies shimmer in the evening sun

Chorus
