The Wheel

Lyrics

You come into the world kicking and screaming The clock starts ticking 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 And you blink em again and you're running 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 Chorus: Oh the wheel keeps turning, and the flame keeps burning And the hunger in the heart and the spirit in 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 throwing 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 Chorus: Oh the wheel keeps turning, and the flame keeps burning And the hunger in the heart and the spirit in 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 Chorus: Oh the wheel keeps turning, and the flame keeps burning And the hunger in the heart and the spirit in the soul keeps yearning, and the wheel keeps turning You come into the world kickin' and screaming And the wheel keeps turning
