How long was I alseep?
When did we plan to meet?
Have you been waiting long for me?
When did the sky turn black?
Do you still want me back?
I'll pick it all up piece by piece

And the wheel goes round and round
And the flame in our souls will never burn out
And the wheel, and the wheel goes round

I am a river with a voice
I came into your life by choice
And none can judge just how that feels
You are a messenger from God
You are the angel I forgot
And who's to say that it isn't real?

And the wheel goes round and round
And the flame in our souls will never burn out
And the wheel, and the wheel goes round

I'm not looking for the answers
Oh, darling don't you see
That just to know the question
Is good enough for me

Take up the hearts you came to heal
Put down your dagger and your shield
You need fear nothing now from me
I see the essence of the man
I stand before you as a friend
The truth moves through us even when we sleep

And the wheel goes round and round
And the flame in our souls will never burn out
And the wheel, and the wheel goes round
