Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She's lyin' there dead on a wheel
Right there in the brightness of the day
A wreck and a disaster, yeah
That's all that they say, as if she cannot hear them
[Verse 2]
All the people do is throw a stone and knock her down
What a cryin' shame
Whatever happened to just givin' a hand to someone who was in need?
But the people all scream, and they shout and they cheer
As she's lyin' there bleedin'
Her heart's dyin' dead on a wheel
[Verse 3]
He's walkin' with his heart in his hands
And his whole life on his sleeve
All that he wanted was a house and a home
Someone who would never leave him
He's a real good man, he don't ever think of walkin' out
[Verse 4]
But all the people do is throw a stone and knock him down
And he's lyin' there bleedin'
And his heart's dyin' dead on a wheel
[Verse 5]
Hey, what if we started leanin' on each other?
Remember that it's faith and kindness
And love that helped us make it through
Yeah, if we all started learnin' how to love one another
Maybe it could get better
Maybe it could get better
[Verse 6]
Yeah, but life goes on
What are you gonna do?
She's lyin' there dead on a wheel
In the brightness of the day
He's walkin' with his heart in his hands
