The Wheel is Round (Charles)

Posted by: Don // Category: lyrics // 3:27 pm

“Thirty spokes converge on a single hub, but it is in the space where there is nothing that the usefulness of the cart lies.” (Tao de Ching)

We were talking about infinity and the trinity and the difference that
separates the three
The arcing wheel of existence of all that has been or ever will be
How we dance on the arc, we court and we spark in a blood rushing spin
And this spinning around makes a terrible sound but it’s only the wind
The wheel is round, the wheel is round, the wheel is round

Now if there was a beginning then there will have to be an end
But Uncle Albert taught us bravely to depend upon the bend of light
When cast in to space to return to the place from whence it has come
And if that is so tell me where do you suppose the light came from
The wheel is round, the wheel is round, the wheel is round

Jesus, Mohammad, Abraham we call on you
You left us with so much work to do
There’s work to do

Ezekiel saw the wheel way up in the middle of the air
And four winged beasts with burnished hooves churning and burning
up there
And they four had the face of a lion, an ox, an eagle, and a lamb
Speaking the language of thunderbolts so that Israel will understand
The wheel is round (Ezekiel saw it)
The wheel is round (tell Israel all about it)
The wheel is round (2pi r 2pi r 2pi r 2pi r 2pi r 2pi r squared)
The wheel is round (2pi r 2pi r 2pi r 2pi r 2pi r 2pi r squared)
Infinity is greater than zero, the wheel is round
