The Wheel Turns

[Verse 1]

Round and round the wheel keeps spinning

No one knows how it began

Every dawn brings the same beginning

Every soul becomes the plan

Clock hands chase their own shadows

While we chase the dreams they sell

In the maze of steel and meadows

We're just numbers in their spell

[Chorus]

The wheel turns, the wheel turns

But nobody learns, nobody learns

We're running in place

At a breakneck pace

The wheel turns, the wheel turns

[Verse 2]

Mother told me I was special

Father said to make my mark

But the system needs us restless

Afraid to question, afraid of dark

Every generation thinks they'll change it

Every heart believes it's free

But the wheel just rearranges

The same old chains we cannot see

[Chorus]

The wheel turns, the wheel turns

But nobody learns, nobody learns

We're running in place

At a breakneck pace

The wheel turns, the wheel turns

[Bridge]

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard

The journey begins at birth and ends... well,

It never really ends, does it?

Just passes to the next passenger

The next dreamer, the next believer

Step right up, take your place in line..."

[Final Chorus]

The wheel turns, the wheel turns

Will anybody learn? Will anybody learn?

We're spinning around

But never touching ground

The wheel turns, the wheel turns
