Jefferson Airplane — The Wheel

[Intro] We can be, oh, one world We will be, oh, one world [Verse 1] In the jungles of the mountain Young Nora loves the mountain And the mountain feeds the people And the wheel keeps on turnin' Revolution! And the wheel keeps on rollin' Firmly toward tomorrow And the mountain speaks clearly To the people in the streets And they sit and watch the motion Watch it rollin' by Some climb aboard And roll into the future Evolution! [Chorus] And the wheel keeps on turnin' It turns and rolls forever The wheel is life and children and it Goes on forever and it's roll roll roll Roll roll roll [Post-Chorus] And Nora sang: We will be one country (We will be) We will be one world (One world) We can be, oh, one world [Verse 2] I dreamt I was in love again With the lady of the mountain The lighthouse keeper's daughter The seer of visions and I Smiled at the pain Of our innocent past Of love on the wheel In the circle at the heart of Devotion! And the wind from the mountain Blew across our love affair And awakened the heart To the roll of the wheel And the night grew still Ad no wind was blowin' I know this was the hour Liberation! [Chorus] And the wheel keeps on turnin' It won't go away It will not be denied and it Goes on forever and it's roll roll roll The circle is unbroken (Ah) [Post-Chorus] We will be one world (We will be) We can be one world (One world) We will see, oh, one world [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] And Nora shouted from the top of the cathedral: Dreams don't die They don't wave goodbye Unless you let them go And watch them die in fury "Freedom is like wheat It must be planted softly And watered everyday And it must be protected 'Til it multiplies Fills the mouth of the wind And the hunger of all Becomes invincible" Ringing from the mountain Fire from the mountain In the heart of the volcano The future is born [Chorus] We will be one world And it goes on forever Rolling toward tomorrow in the Streets of forever and it's roll roll roll The future is unspoken Roll roll roll [Post-Chorus] And the wheel keeps on rolling to one world We will be, oh We can see, oh, one world We will be, oh
