| See the words appear on the wall | |
| There for every man who's standing tall | |
| This water's pure, the well is so deep | |
| The only treasure that a man can keep | |
| Miles to go, and I feel the weight | |
| Of these chains that I create | |
| As I climb to the top of the hill | |
| It draws me still | |
| And I can't look back | |
| The heart keeps on burning | |
| Oh, wheels, wheels, don't slow down | |
| My soul keeps on yearning | |
| Oh, wheels, wheels, roll me homeward bound | |
| I'm looking through the eyes of a child | |
| Like the innocent and unbeguiled | |
| From the east, and far to the west | |
| Soldiers conquer in a royal quest | |
| One by one, as the seasons change | |
| I press on in a world so strange | |
| As I climb to the top of the hill | |
| It draws me still | |
| And I won't look back | |
| The heart keeps on burning | |
| Oh, wheels, wheels, don't slow down | |
| My soul keeps on yearning | |
| Oh, wheels, wheels, roll me homeward bound | |
| We are marching in time | |
| To the reason and rhyme | |
| As the glory of youth starts to fade | |
| There's no burden to bear | |
| For a debt that is already paid | |
| The heart keeps on burning | |
| Oh, wheels, wheels, don't slow down | |
| My soul keeps on yearning | |
| Oh, wheels, wheels, roll me homeward bound |
