Wheel of Life [German translation]

There's a heavy load upon my shoulders now

For a trip that is uncertain, but somehow

Every road in life is nothin' more today

Than a step behind what it was yesterday

So I stay a man and swallow up my pride

And sometimes I guess I go just for the ride

'Cause I know that somewhere over the next hill

There's a waiting world of changes and goodwill

Uh huh...uh huh

Get behind the wheel of life

Take your chances on the road

Take the road of no return

Or when midnight court adjourns

Help your brother with his load

There's an echo of a dream here in my mind

Of a freedom that we're not allowed to find

Every road in life is nothin' but the same

Every man in every state will have a claim

Well, I'm not about to sit here idly by

While some politician carries out his lie

I am one like any other and I say

Everyone has every right to choose his way

Uh huh...uh huh

Get behind the wheel of life

Take your chances on the road

Take the road of no return

Or when midnight court adjourns

Help your brother with his load

Uh huh, uh huh....
