As the wheel turns away from the dark, let us all follow and second line into the light.
The wheel is turning
and you can’t slow down
You can’t let go
and you can’t hold on
You can’t go back
and you can’t stand still
If the thunder don’t get you
then the lightning will
Won’t you try just a little bit harder?
Couldn’t you try just a little bit more?
Won’t you try just a little bit harder?
Couldn’t you try just a little bit more?
Round round robin run around
Gotta get back where you belong
Little bit harder, just a little bit more
Little bit farther than you than you’ve gone before

i have been trying all morning to find Everette Maddox’s “The Doom” online, but no luck. i see you have posted poems of his in the past — do you have that one? i’ve called around to find the Everette Maddox Songbook and cannot find a copy….thought maybe you could help
