The Wheel in the song is a metaphor for the world, or life:.
"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,"
or
"Small wheel turn by the fire and rod,
Big wheel turn by the grace of God,
Every time that wheel turn 'round,
Bound to cover just a little more ground".
It is a song of perserverance, and encouragement, and support, as displayed by the repetition of the lyric::
"Won't you try just a little bit harder,
Couldn't you try just a little bit more?"
