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.
