Generate meaning
1
This land today, shall draw its last breath
2
And take into its ancient depths
3
This frail reminder of its giant, dreaming self
4
While I, with human-hindered eyes
5
Unequal to the sweeping curve of life
6
Stand on this single print of time
7
CHORUS:
8
Human wheels spin round and round
9
While the clock keeps the pace
10
Human wheels spin round and round
11
Help the light to my face
12
That time, today, no triumph gains
13
At this short success of age
14
This pale reflection of its brave and
15
Blundering deed
16
For I, descend from this vault
17
Now dreams beyond my earthly fault
18
Knowledge, sure, from the seed
19
CHORUS:
20
Human wheels spin round and round
21
While the clock keeps the pace
22
Human wheels spin round and round
23
Help the light to my face
24
This land, today, my tears shall taste
25
And take into its dark embrace
26
This love, who in my beating heart endures
27
Assured, by every sun that burns
28
The dust to which this flesh shall return
29
It is the ancient, dreaming dust of God
30
CHORUS:
31
Human wheels spin round and round
32
While the clock keeps the pace
33
Human wheels spin round and round
34
Help the light to my face
35
Human wheels spin round and round
36
While the clock keeps the pace
37
Human wheels spin round and round
38
Help the light to my face
