As we traverse life's winding roads, uncertainty often rides shotgun. This classic by Journey encapsulates the essence of this feeling, using the metaphor of a 'wheel in the sky' to symbolize life's unpredictability and constant motion. The lyrics express a profound longing for home and stability amidst a chaotic and uncertain journey. The protagonist is caught in an endless cycle of trying to return home, battling harsh weather and time - metaphors for life's adversities and ticking clock. Yet, despite the struggle, there's a sense of acceptance. Life keeps moving like the wheel in the sky, taking us to unknown destinations. It's an ode to resilience, surrendering to fate while never losing hope for better days ahead.
