The Wheel

If only I knew you, If only If only, Perhaps again the sun would come to rise, life again new mysterious surprise No more hell, clear to heaven looking through your eyes Death to all the lies, all the wretched screams and cries IF is no future! It is the past, life begins, but it doesn't last the here and now, gone tomorrow, If only you were here you could lift the sorrow Let us move forward, soldier on tomorrow, we'll beg bleed and steel, bend a knee and kneel And perhaps, the value of our toil will bring about a deal that gives us time again tomorrow to get back on the wheel If only I knew you, here today, come and stay, free me from this way.
