JOHN MELLENCAMP - Human Wheels lyrics

rate me

This land today, shall draw it's last breath<br>And take into it's ancient depths<br>This frail reminder of it's giant, dreaming self<br>While i, with human-hindered eyes<br>Unequal to the sweeping curve of life<br>Stand on this single print of time<br><br>Chorus:<br>Human wheels spin round and round<br>While the clock keeps the pace<br>Human wheels spin round and round<br>Help the light to my face<br><br>That time, today, no triumph gains<br>At this short success of age<br>This pale reflection of it's brave and<br>Blundering deed<br>For i, descend from this vault<br>Now dreams beyond my earthly fault<br>Knowledge, sure, from the seed<br><br>Chorus:<br>Human wheels spin round and round<br>While the clock keeps the pace<br>Human wheels spin round and round<br>Help the light to my face<br><br>This land, today, my tears shall taste<br>And take into it's dark embrace<br>This love, who in my beating heart endures<br>Assured, by every sun that burns<br>The dust to which this flesh shall return<br>It is the ancient, dreaming dust of god<br><br>Chorus:<br>Human wheels spin round and round<br>While the clock keeps the pace<br>Human wheels spin round and round<br>Help the light to my face<br>Human wheels spin round and round<br>While the clock keeps the pace<br>Human wheels spin round and round<br>Help the light to my face
