The Wheel Lyrics by Michael Park, Sarah Charles Lewis, Tuck Everlasting Original Broadway Cast Ensemble

Tuck Everlasting (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

2016

[ANGUS]
I bet you didn’t know that the sun took a shine to water
She drinks up a bit, floats it up to the sky
Now what she takes from our lake
Will make her a storm cloud that rumbles and tumbles rain
From up high, high, high

It’s a wheel, Winnie
This journey of ours
Sun to lake to cloud that showers rain back to the lake below
And you’ll ride that wheel wherever you go

Not a minute or moment is the same
The wheel keeps you guessing
And everything around you is along for the ride
The pond, the bullfrogs, the birch trees, and hound dogs
Plus people, all people ebb and flow
With the tide, tide, tide

It’s a wheel, Winnie
A ripple in water
Girl to wife to mother to daughter
Like all you kinfolk
Come and gone
Can’t stop rowing, rowing, changing, and moving on

Once you drop an anchor, the boat gets stuck
And it would stay forever

[WINNIE]
Just floating on top

[BOTH]
Watching life pass it by
Just floating on top

[ANGUS]
Show me how to climb back on the wheel
I’ll be there slick as a slingshot
Prepared to get off at the end
And share with someone my spot

You can’t have living without dying
So you can’t call this living what we got
We just are
We just be
No before
No beyond
A rowboat anchored in the middle of a pond

[spoken]
Don't be afraid of death, Winnie
Be afraid of not being truly alive
You don't need to live forever
You just need to live
Do you understand?

[WINNIE]
[sung]
It’s a wheel

[ANGUS]
It’s a wheel Winnie

[BOTH]
A ripple in water
Girl to wife to mother to daughter
Like all you kinfolk
Come and gone
It’s a wheel

[ANGUS]
Winnie

[BOTH]
A circle in motion
Can’t stop rowing, growing, changing, then moving on
Can’t stop rowing, growing, changing, then moving on
