[Verse]
G Gmaj7 Em
Oh I wish I was the sparrow in your kid's eye
C D G
Like a fly above is summer all day long
Gmaj7 Em
On an island in the heart he has to carry
C D G
Past the many you have let into your song
[Chorus]
G C D G C
And I said oh my lord why am I not strong
D G C
Like the wheel that keeps travelers traveling on
D G
Like the wheel that will take you home
[Verse]
G Gmaj7 Em
And in the forest someone is whispering to a tree now
C D G
This is all I am so please don't follow me
Gmaj7 Em
And it's your brother in the shaft that I'm swinging
C D G
Please let the kindness of forgetting set me free
[Chorus]
G C D G C
And I said oh my lord why am I not strong
D G C
Like the wheel that keeps travelers traveling on
D G
Like the wheel that will take you home
[Verse]
G Gmaj7 Em
And on this Sunday someone's sitting down to wonder
C D G
Where the hell among these mountains will I be?
Gmaj7 Em
There's a cloud behind the cloud to which I'm yelling
C D G
I could hear you sneak around so easily
[Chorus]
G C D G C
And I said oh my lord why am I not strong
D G C
Like the branch that keeps hangmen hanging on
D G
Like the branch that will take me home
