The big wheel keeps on turning On a simple line day by day The earth
spins on its axis One man struggle while another relaxes There's a hole
in my soul like a cavity Seems the world is out to gather just by gravity
The wheel keeps turning the sky's rearranging Look my son the weather
is changing I'd like to feel that you could be free Look up at the blue skies
beneath a new tree Sometime again You'll turn green and the sea turns red
My son I said the power of reflections over my head The big wheel keeps on
turning On a simple line day by day The earth spins on its axis One man
struggle while another relaxes We sang about the sun and danced among
the trees And we listened to the whisper of the city on the breeze Will you
cry in the most in a lead-free zone Down within the shadows where the factories
drone On the surface of the wheel they build another town And so the green
come tumbling down Yes close your eyes and hold me tight And i'll show you
sunset sometime again The big wheel keeps on turning On a simple line day by
day The earth spins on its axis One man struggle while another relaxes As a child
solemn pray my hope hides in disguise While satellites and cameras watch from
the skies An acid drop of rain recycled from the sea It washed away my shadow
burnt a hole in me And all the king's men cannot put it back again But the ghetto
sun will nurture life And mend my soul sometime again The big wheel keeps on
turning On a simple line day by day The earth spins on its axis One man struggle
while another relaxes (x2)
