Prayer Wheel Lyrics by Daniel Amos

Kalhoun

1991

[Intro]
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

[Verse 1]
These are the fasting days
Gonna break our will
Let Christ out of the money box
Let our hearts be still
We'll crawl on our bellies now and make a wound to heal
Dry blood on the potter's soil is our holy meal

[Chorus]
Take a page, print your name, tack it to the prayer wheel
(Spin it 'til it makes the sound of a thousand)
Voices crying every name that's on the prayer wheel
(Lamentations up to heaven)
Make some small enough to wear
Around our wrists, reminders there
Of the promises we made

[Verse 2]
Oh, oh, oh
These are the gathering days
Of clouds and pages
There are icons on the subway walls
Prophets and sages
The wheel will stand upon a mound of dust and ashes
Our backs are pinned against the wall of thorns and lashes

[Chorus]
Take a page, print your name, tack it to the prayer wheel
(Spin it 'til it makes the sound of a thousand)
Voices crying every name that's on the prayer wheel
(Lamentations up to heaven)
Make some small enough to wear
Around our wrists, reminders there
Of the promises we made

[Verse 3]
Now these are the numbered days
The final stages
We live in caves upon the mountain called
The Rock of Ages
And there will be no signs like statues with the bleeding hands
Just a fire burning in the soul of every man

[Chorus]
And you take a page, print your name, tack it to the prayer wheel
(Spin it 'til it makes the sound of a thousand)
Voices crying every name that's on the prayer wheel
(Lamentations up to heaven)
Make some small enough to wear
Around our wrists, reminders there

[Outro]
And you take a page, print your name, tack it to the prayer wheel
(Spin it 'til it makes the sound of a thousand voices)
Take a page, print your name, tack it to the prayer wheel
(Spin it 'til it makes the sound of a thousand voices)
Take a page, print your name, tack it to the prayer wheel
(Spin it 'til it makes the sound of a thousand voices)
Take a page, print your name, tack it to the prayer wheel
(Spin it 'til it makes the sound of a thousand voices)
These are promises we made, oh, oh
These are promises we made, oh, oh
These are promises we made, oh, oh
These are promises me made, oh, oh
