The Wheel

We were lost to the wind
Now we belong to the wreckage
As the twilight thinned
A film formed on our eyes, Lord
A film formed on our eyes

Climbed the steps in the wood
On that volcanic mountain
Never stopped like we should
To breathe the dying sky, Lord
To breathe the dying skies

Then we raced at the top
Past erosion and marble
'Til we finally stopped
But the night had passed us by, Lord
The night had passed us by

I seen the wheel turn
I seen it turn in you
I felt its steel burn
And I know you can feel it burn, too

As the morning bent
Our words lost their meaning
And I realized what it meant
To feel the Earth in spin, Lord
To feel the Earth in spin

Few words were spoke
Mostly we sat in silence
Now those words, they're smoke
And they belong to the roots and the wind, babe
Belong to the roots and wind

I seen the wheel turn
I seen it turn in you
I felt its steel burn
And I know you can feel it burn, too

Come from hills and bogs
Before man was a monarch
We had the eyes of God
And the world was one bright beam, Lord
The world was one bright beam

Not a thing has changed
Except our patience and vision
That's why we're here today
To let the light seep in, Lord
To let the light seep in
