Big Wheel*

The big wheel keeps on turning

Life is not predetermined

It runs in cycles like a beat badly looped

The big wheel keeps on turning and turning

Always turning into something new

Every morning i’m surprised to feel the sun rise

Even when it drowns in cotton cloudy springtides

Cuz lately i’ve been dreaming each day was just another night in disguise

And that I was wandering off into starless skies

All i perceived in the darkness was the sparkle of heartless eyes

And the harder i tried to see, the more i lost my sight

Then this morning i woke up blind with sunshine

And the strange beauty of being numb sometimes

I don’t feel happy nor sad nor the two of them combined

Just alive and well wishing it will last a long time

I might not know what tomorrow brings

But my newly-fledged heart’s already flying on tomorrow’s wings

Because the kids of today will surely be tomorrow’s kings

And the beautifullest sounds are coming out of hollow things

Listen"
