Like the Wheel

Oh I wish I was the sparrow in your kid's eye That could fly above this summer all day long On an island in the heart he has to carry Past the many you have let into your song And I said, "Oh my Lord, why am I not strong?" Like the wheel that keeps travelers traveling on Like the wheel that will take you home And in the forest someone is whispering to a tree now This is all I am so please don't follow me And it's your brother in the shaft that I'm swinging Please let the kindness of forgetting set me free And he said, "Oh my Lord, why am I not strong?" Like the wheel that keeps travelers traveling on Like the wheel that will take you home And on this Sunday someone's sittin' down to wonder Where the hell among these mountains will I be? There's a cloud behind the cloud to which I'm yelling Oh, I could hear you sneak around so easily And I said, "Oh my Lord, why am I not strong?" Like the branch that keeps hangman hanging on Like the branch that will take me home --- Like the Wheel - The Tallest Man on Earth
