Ezekiel (from the album “My Lord What a Mornin”, 1960) Songtext
von Harry Belafonte

Well, I tell you

Ezekiel saw the wheel, way up in the middle of the air
Ezekiel saw the wheel, way in the middle of the air
Ezekiel saw the wheel, way up in the middle of the air
Ezekiel saw the wheel, way in the middle of the air

And the big wheel run by faith
(And the little wheel run by the grace of God)
A wheel and a wheel, ′way in the middle of the air

Ezekiel saw the wheel, way up in the middle of the air
Ezekiel saw the wheel, way in the middle of the air
Ezekiel saw the wheel, way up in the middle of the air
Ezekiel saw the wheel, way in the middle of the air

Ezekiel saw the wheel, way up in the middle of the air
Ezekiel saw the wheel, way in the middle of the air
Ezekiel saw the wheel, turning way up in the middle of the air
Ezekiel saw the wheel, turning way up
Way up, way up there in the middle of the air


Wheel, wheel, wheel, wheel
Wheel, wheel, wheel, wheel
Wheel, wheel, wheel, wheel
Ezekiel saw the wheel, way up in the middle of the air
Ezekiel saw the wheel, turning in the middle of the air

And the big wheel run by faith
And the little wheel run by the grace of God
The wheel and the wheel (the wheel and a wheel)
Way in the middle of the air (the wheel and the wheel)

Ezekiel saw the wheel, way up the middle of the air
Ezekiel saw the wheel, way in the middle of the air

And the big wheel run by faith
And the little wheel runs by the grace of God
A wheel and a wheel
A wheel and a wheel
Way in the middle of the air

Ooh, look out sister how you step on the cross
Way in the middle of the air
Look out sister
How you step on the cross
Your foot might slip
Oh, God, and your soul get lost
Way in the middle of air


Ezekiel saw the wheel (the wheel and the wheel)
Ezekiel saw the wheel (the wheel and the wheel)
Ezekiel saw the wheel (the wheel and the wheel)
Ezekiel saw the wheel (the wheel and the wheel)
Ezekiel saw the wheel, way up in the middle of the air
Ezekiel saw the wheel, way in the middle of the air

Ezekiel saw the wheel, way up in the middle of the air
Ezekiel saw the wheel, way in the middle of the air
Ezekiel saw the wheel, way up in the middle of the air
Ezekiel saw the wheel, way in the middle of the air
Ezekiel saw the wheel, turning way up in the middle of the air
Ezekiel saw the wheel, turning way up, way up

Way, way up
Way up there in the middle of the air
Oh, way up there in the middle of the air
Way in the middle of the air
