From the recording Swan In The Monsoon
Lyrics
The Wheel
written by: keith johnston
The weight of the heart
You drag along
All the worries It provokes
All the feelings it contains
All it holds
When your heart gets full
It carries all the weight of life
When your heart gets full
There’s no space for you to lie
The weight of the heart
You drag along becomes
The wheel of a laden soul
That will not go
(It will not go) It’s always
Pulling around
The human harness
Too full of life to ever live
Bury our hearts deep in hope
And lament
Too full of life
to move ahead
The weight of the mind
You reason with
All the memories it holds
All the feelings to explain
Where does it go
The weight of
what you anticipate
All the actions to replace
All the love you need to give
Where does it go
(Chorus)
The weight of
The search for happiness
Spend every moment
Seeking it
All the strain to keep a smile
From falling down
The weight of
The uncertainties
We wake up to everyday
All the hope it takes to live
It’s so hard to get enough
