[Verse 1] They’ve got a fire, they’ve got a flame, A priestly people, called by name. They walk with light the Torah gave, They teach, they bless, they watch, they pray. [Chorus] But I keep the wheels turning, While they light the holy flame. I walk the road of justice, With no need for praise or fame. We serve the same Creator, Each in our own way… And I keep the wheels turning Every single day. [Verse 2] They wear the thread, they bless the wine, They guard the day, they mark the time. But I was shaped for simpler things – Like honest weights and working hands. [Chorus – Repeat] Still I keep the wheels turning, While they raise their hands in prayer. I deal in truth and kindness, And I meet the world with care. They sanctify the moment, I lift the work I do… And I keep the wheels turning, Faithful, firm, and true. [Verse 3] I mend the gate, I till the land, I raise my children by my hand. I teach them truth, I keep things fair, With HaShem’s name in quiet prayer. [Bridge – Spoken or softly sung] Don’t call me less, don’t call me late, I walk a path that’s just as straight. I don’t pretend to wear their crown – But I won’t let the world fall down. [Outro – Gentle finish] So I’ll keep the wheels turning, On the road that I was shown. Not as a copy, not as a guest – But in the truth I call my own.
