[Verse 1]
I woke up this mornin', the world was gray
Troubles on my mind, couldn't find my way
I met a man down by the railroad tracks
His eyes held sorrow, his coat was on his back
[Chorus]
The wheels of change are turnin', grinding slow and hard
Leaving lives and dreams scattered in the yard
The wheels of change keep rollin', can't slow them down
Some will rise up, others fall to the ground
[Verse 2]
He spoke of times both good and bad
But said the wheels don't stop for glad or sad
Gotta keep on walkin', the journey's far
Sing with hope, though night hides every star
Chorus:
The wheels of change are turnin', grinding slow and hard
Leaving lives and dreams scattered in the yard
The wheels of change keep rollin', can't slow them down
Some will rise up, others fall to the ground
[Verse repeats]
I'll strap my boots, step out the door
Chasing my fate, what lies in store
Wandering far, no set course or aim
Till the wheels stop turnin', my way home I'll claim
[Chorus repeats]
The wheels of change are turnin', grinding slow and hard
Leaving lives and dreams scattered in the yard
The wheels of change keep rollin', can't slow them down
Some will rise up, others fall to the ground
[Outro]
The wheels of change are turnin', year by year
Bringing new hope, new sorrow, new fear
But I'll keep on singing, till my final breath
For the wheels of change keep turnin', even after death
