human wheels
Singer: john mellencamp
this land today
shall draw its last breath
and take into its ancient depths
this frail reminder of its giant
dreaming self. while i
with human-hindered eyes
unequal to the sweeping curve of life
stand on this single print of time. human wheels spin round and round
while the clock keeps the pace. human wheels spin round and round
help the light to my face. that time
today
no triumph gains
at this short success of age. this pale reflection of its brave and
blundering deed. for i
descend from this vault
now dreams beyond my earthly fault
knowledge
sure
from the seed. human wheels spin round and round
while the clock keeps the pace. human wheels spin round and round
help the light to my face. this land
today
my tears shall taste
and take into its dark embrace. this love
who in my beating heart endures
assured
by every sun that burns
the dust to which this flesh shall return. it is the ancient
dreaming dust of god. human wheels spin round and round
while the clock keeps the pace. human wheels spin round and round
help the light to my face. human wheels spin round and round
while the clock keeps the pace. human wheels spin round and round
help the light to my face.
