Wheels Lyrics - Kansas

See the words appear on the wall 

There for every man who's standing tall 

This water's pure, the well is so deep 

The only treasure that a man can keep 

Miles to go, and I feel the weight 

Of these chains that I create 

As I climb to the top of the hill 

It draws me still 

And I can't look back 

(Chorus) 

The heart keeps on burning 

Oh, wheels, wheels, don't slow down 

My soul keeps on yearning 

Oh, wheels, wheels, roll me homeward bound 

I'm looking through the eyes of a child 

Like the innocent and unbeguiled 

From the east, and far to the west 

Soldiers conquer in a royal quest 

One by one, as the seasons change 

I press on in a world so strange 

As I climb to the top of the hill 

It draws me still 

And I won't look back 

(Chorus) 

We are marching in time 

To the reason and rhyme 

As the glory of youth starts to fade 

There's no burden to bear 

For a debt that is already paid 

(Chorus)
