Human Wheels Lyrics - John Mellencamp

Written by: John Mellencamp and George Green 

This land today, shall draw its last breath 

And take into its ancient depths 

This frail reminder of its giant, dreaming self. 

While I, with human-hindered eyes 

Unequal to the sweeping curve of life, 

Stand on this single print of time. 

Human wheels spin round and round 

While the clock keeps the pace. 

Human wheels spin round and round 

Help the light to my face.

That time, today, no triumph gains 

At this short success of age. 

This pale reflection of its brave and 

Blundering deed. 

For I, descend from this vault, 

Now dreams beyond my earthly fault 

Knowledge, sure, from the seed. 

Human wheels spin round and round 

While the clock keeps the pace. 

Human wheels spin round and round 

Help the light to my face. 

This land, today, my tears shall taste 

And take into its dark embrace. 

This love, who in my beating heart endures, 

Assured, by every sun that burns, 

The dust to which this flesh shall return. 

It is the ancient, dreaming dust of God.

Human wheels spin round and round 

While the clock keeps the pace. 

Human wheels spin round and round 

Help the light to my face. 

Human wheels spin round and round 

While the clock keeps the pace. 

Human wheels spin round and round 

Help the light to my face.
