The Wheel - Victoria Banks
You come into the world kicking and screaming
The clock starts tickin'
With the breath you're breathing
Tiny hands tiny feet
And all you do is eat and sleep
Then you blink your eyes
And you're crawlin' 'cross the floor
Then you blink 'em again
And you're runnin' out the door
For a tire swing then a schoolbus
Then a second hand chevy
And you're kickin' up dust
It happens so fast just like that
Oh the wheel keeps turning
And the flame keeps burning
And the hunger in the heart and
The spirit and the soul keeps yearning
And the wheel keeps turning
You fall for love on a prayer and a wing
And your heart gets broken
And you feel that sting
And you fall again and it sure feels right
And half a second later they're throwin' rice
Then you're back to work
And the honeymoon's done
Boy time flies when you're having fun
You buy a little house with a leaky roof
Then you're paintin' that nursery baby blue
The first time you hold him it starts all over
Oh the wheel keeps turning
And the flame keeps burning
And the hunger in the heart and
The spirit and the soul keeps yearning
And the wheel keeps turning
The sun comes up and the moon goes down
The rock in the sky spins round and round
It's one more day here
On the ground as the stars roll by
You live and learn break and bend
Say a little prayer when the daylight ends
Wake in the morning
Do it all again it's a crazy ride
Oh the wheel keeps turning
And the flame keeps burning
And the hunger in the heart and
The spirit and the soul keeps yearning
You come into the world kicking and screaming
And the wheel keeps turning
