[Verse]
C C/B Am
Oh I wish I was the sparrow in your kid's eye
F G C
Like a fly above is summer all day long
C C/B Am
On an island in the heart he has to carry
F G C
Past the many you have let into your song
[Chorus]
F G C F
And I said oh my lord why am I not strong
F G C F
Like the wheel that keeps travelers traveling on
F G C
Like the wheel that will take you home
[Verse]
And in the forest someone is whispering to a tree now
This is all I am so please don't follow me
And it's your brother in the shaft that I'm swinging
Please let the kindness of forgetting set me free
[Chorus]
F G C F
And I said oh my lord why am I not strong
F G C F
Like the wheel that keeps travelers traveling on
F G C
Like the wheel that will take you home
[Verse]
And on this Sunday someone's sitting down to wonder
Where the hell among these mountains will I be?
There's a cloud behind the cloud to which I'm yelling
I could hear you sneak around so easily
[Chorus]
F G C F
And I said oh my lord why am I not strong
F G C F
Like the wheel that keeps travelers traveling on
F G C
Like the wheel that will take you home
