Story Behind The Song

We wanted another birthday song!

Lyrics

Another Trip Around The Sun
(Orton, Bedford-Pugh, Upthegrove, Kelley)

While the world keeps on revolving, I keep on resolving,
To stay on the earth while it's turning round.
Like a juggler keeps things spinning, I feel like I am winning,
Everyday I wake up still above ground!
How lucky can one guy be when,
It's nothing that I have done?
Now I'm another year older,
'Cause I've made another trip around the sun.

You know everything is moving, I keep on a grooving,
'Cause the galaxy keeps moving around.
It's perpetual motion, that's giving me the notion,
I'm not all that important I've found!
It's sobering to learn that lesson,
And it's not the only one.
Now I'm another year older,
'Cause I've made another trip around the sun.

Tomorrow's not promised to us,
So smile and know that we've won!
And hope that we make another trip around the sun!

You know I know my time's a coming, I keep on a running,
Like the song says, "I don't want to say 'bye."
I only wish I could get more time, Seems to be the real crime,
I learned that someday we will all die!
Till that happens what can we do now?
Let's party and have some fun.
Now I'm another year older,
'Cause I've made another trip around the sun.

Tomorrow's not promised to us,
So smile and know that we've won!
And hope that we make another trip around the sun!

You know this life can still be upbeat, might not get a repeat,
Make the best of what we've still got.
Can't believe I've lasted this long, I plan on going out strong,
Been given much more time than I thought!
Till that happens what can I do now?
I'll stay here and have some fun.
Now I'm another year older,
'Cause I've made another trip around the sun.
Another trip around the sun.
Another trip around the sun.
Another trip around the sun.
