Hymn Of The Big Wheel Lyrics - Blue Lines - Massive Attack

The big wheel keeps on turning 

On a simple line, day by day 

The earth spins on its axis 

One man struggle while another relaxes 

There's a hole in my soul like a cavity 

Seems the world is out to gather just by gravity 

The wheel keeps turning, the sky's rearranging 

Look, my son, the weather is changing 

I'd like to feel that you could be free 

Look up at the blue skies beneath a new tree 

Sometime again, you'll turn green, and the sea turns red 

My son, I said, the power of reflections over my head

The big wheel keeps on turning 

On a simple line, day by day 

The earth spins on its axis 

One man struggle while another relaxes 

We sang about the sun and danced among the trees 

And we listened to the whisper of the city on the breeze 

Will you cry in the most in a lead-free zone 

Down within the shadows where the factories drone 

On the surface of the wheel they build another town 

And so the green come tumbling down 

Yes, close your eyes and hold me tight 

And I'll show you sunset sometime again 

The big wheel keeps on turning 

On a simple line, day by day 

The earth spins on its axis 

One man struggle while another relaxes 

Photos 

As a child solemn pray, my hope hides in disguise 

While satellites and cameras watch from the skies 

An acid drop of rain recycled from the sea 

It washed away my shadow, burnt a hole in me 

And all the king's men cannot put it back again 

But the ghetto sun will nurture life 

And mend my soul sometime again 

The big wheel keeps on turning 

On a simple line, day by day 

The earth spins on its axis 

One man struggle while another relaxes
