People like to compare life to a roller-coaster,
But for me it’s been more of a Ferris Wheel.
The ups and down are still the same,
But people get on and off all the time.
It’s nice slowly riding to the top
Watching them all find rides to go on next...
But I secretly know, this line’s best
Yet, I’ll get off searching for another
If there were a ride in between,
A Ferris Wheel and a roller-coaster,
People would ride it all day,
Yet we’re addicted to speed and tall heights
Just to say we moved different than we normally do
And just might have seen what we normally don’t.
Editor's note: The Wiener Riesenrad, is a gigantic Ferris wheel in Vienna, Austria. It is a symbol of the city in the same way the Eiffel Tower is to Paris or Big Ben is to London.
