------Lyrics------
Standing at the top of the wooden steps
Staring straight ahead
He's hypnotised by what's in front of his eyes
A cherry tree has erupted in pink
Winter has finally fled
Spring is here with her promise of awakening life
And he’s thinking...

That's the way of the world since time began
And the way of the world is nature’s dance
Beginning with spring
Life never stops trav’ling

The tree reminds him of the day he was wed
When he stood there watching his bride
So gentle and proud, she was beautiful, calm and serene
The air around her was bursting with hope
Like spring had finally arrived
And last he’d awoken from Winter’s lonely dream
He nods his head...

That's the way of the world since time began
And the way of the world is nature’s dance
Beginning with spring
Life never stops trav’ling

Inside his mind, the Earth revolves in heaven like a merry-go-round
Such an almighty ball of blue, green and white
And it’s home while he’s flying the cosmos
Riding this roundabout of life

Yes, that is the way of the world since time began
And the way of the world is nature’s dance
Beginning with spring
Life keeps on rolling along

That's the way of the world since time began
And the way of the world is nature’s dance
Beginning with spring
Life never stops trav’ling

And he says, “Till planet Earth bids me farewell
“I’m going to seize ev’ry moment on life’s carousel”
