"The Wheel"

"The Wheel"

The wheel is turning
    and you can't slow down
    You can't let go
    and you can't hold on
    You can't go back
    and you can't stand still
    If the thunder don't get you
    then the lightning will

    Won't you try just a little bit harder?
    Couldn't you try just a little bit more?
    Won't you try just a little bit harder?
    Couldn't you try just a little bit more?

    Round round robin run around
    Gotta get back where you belong
    Little bit harder, just a little bit more
    Little bit farther than you than you've gone before

    The wheel is turning
    and you can't slow down
    You can't let go
    and you can't hold on
    You can't go back
    and you can't stand still
    If the thunder don't get you
    then the lightning will

    Small wheel turn by the fire and rod
    Big wheel turn by the grace of God
    Everytime that wheel turn round
    bound to cover just a little more ground

    The wheel is turning
    and you can't slow down
    You can't let go
    and you can't hold on
    You can't go back
    and you can't stand still
    If the thunder don't get you
    then the lightning will

    Won't you try just a little bit harder
    Couldn't you try just a little bit more?
    Won't you try just a little bit harder?
    Couldn't you try just a little bit more?
