The big wheel keeps on turning
On a simple line day by day
The earth spins on its axis
One man struggle while another relaxes
Today is the holiest day of the year for Christians, and even though I am not a religious person, I wanted to tone it down a bit today out of respect for the holiday. Though I am not religious, I do consider myself a spiritual person, and I believe that there is a higher power and I believe that higher power would want us all to put some goodness forth. I believe that goodness begets goodness and I am constantly tormented by all the injustice I see in the world. That being said, this song speaks to that notion.
The "Hymn of the Big Wheel" is such a peaceful and thought-provoking song. To me it's a perfect song for the day. Whether you're a believer of any religious doctrine or not, I think that we can all agree that we need to take better care of our world, and each other, regardless.
It's a beautiful spring day out there and lots of people will be celebrating. Now go out there and spread some love...Happy Easter!
Hymn of the Big Wheel
The big wheel keeps on turning
On a simple line day by day
The earth spins on its axis
One man struggle while another relaxes
There's a hole in my soul like a cavity
Seems like the world is out to gather just by gravity
The wheel keeps turning the sky's rearranging
Look my son the weather is changing
I'd like to feel that you could be free
Look up at the blue skies beneath a new tree
Sometime again
You'll turn green and the sea turns red
My son I said the power of axis over my head
The big wheel keeps on turning
On a simple line day by day
The earth spins on its axis
One man struggle while another relaxes
We sang about the sun and danced among the trees
And we listened to the whisper of the city on the breeze
Will you cry in the most in a lead-free zone
Down within the shadows where the factories drone
On the surface of the wheel they build another town
And so the green come tumbling down
Yes close your eyes and hold me tight
And i'll show you sunset sometime again
The big wheel keeps on turning
On a simple line day by day
The earth spins on its axis
One man struggle while another relaxes
As a child's silent prayer my hope hides in disguise
While satellites and cameras watch from the skies
An acid drop of rain recycled from the sea
It washed away my shadow burnt a hole in me
And all the king's men cannot put it back again
But the ghetto sun will nurture life
And mend my soul sometime again
The big wheel keeps on turning
On a simple line day by day
The earth spins on its axis
One man struggle while another relaxes
