I am going to refine my above post: I think it is about a guy who once had great faith in God and Jesus and how the world has been making him lose it and about his struggle to get back to the faith he once had. Winter is here again oh Lord, - life is getting tougher; Satin is attacking me Haven't been home in a year or more - haven't felt true faith in a long time I hope she holds on a little longer - my faith is fading quickly Sent a letter on a long summer day - a prayer for help in regaining the faith he once had Made of silver, not of clay - an earnest prayer I've been runnin' down this dusty road - the world is getting in the way choking him as he runs determined to find God again Wheel in the sky keeps on turnin' - life/God won't wait for me; it keeps moving along I don't know where I'll be tomorrow - heaven or hell Wheel in the sky keeps on turnin' I've been trying to make it home - get my faith back Got to make it before too long - don't have much time left; the end is near I can't take this very much longer - living in this world being attacked by Satin I'm stranded in the sleet and rain - lost soul; can't see the right direction Don't think I'm ever gonna make it home again - losing hope in his ability to get back to God The mornin' sun is risin' - a new day is coming; the lord will return and bring salvation and death to non-believers and those lacking faith It's kissing the day |

| Great post! Sounds like you had an awesome brother. He is with the lord now. The sun has risen and kissed the day! I lost my older brother in a fire many years ago and still feel his strong spirit and guidance when I need it. | |

I think it is part religious Winter is here again oh Lord, - things are getting tough in life again Haven't been home in a year or more - no church and little prayer I hope she holds on a little longer - the angels/God; my soul Sent a letter on a long summer day - a prayer Made of silver, not of clay I've been runnin' down this dusty road - living in this world of sin Wheel in the sky keeps on turnin' - Heaven/ God; a spaceship? time... I don't know where I'll be tomorrow - will I go to heaven? Wheel in the sky keeps on turnin' I've been trying to make it home - to God and obedience to his will Got to make it before too long - not much time left to save my soul I can't take this very much longer - the world is too hard to live in I'm stranded in the sleet and rain - lost soul Don't think I'm ever gonna make it home again The mornin' sun is risin' - Jesus It's kissing the day - salvation |

| I agree with many of these interpretations, but as a whole I think it is about self-actualization. Mom packs your bags and kicks you out of the house and you feel lost and don't know who you really are. Every person must go on this journey alone - to find their true "self." While you are gong at it, you miss the things you had before; earthly possessions, friends, lovers. After being "gone" for a time (it is timeless because we don't know how long it will take to find ourselves) you come back "down-to-earth" and take a clear look at your "self" and find that you are not who you thought you were at all. If you do not find your true "self", you will burn your fuse out (die) alone without ever being able to share who you really are with others. Mars is the foreign place where you are before you find out who you are; it is not good to raise kids under false pretense. The reason the world is like this is too complicated to understand - we just know that we must go on this journey to self actualize; its a job we must all do to truly live as our real selves. | |
