Refrain:
Ezek’el saw de wheel
’Way up in de middle o’ de air,
Ezek’el saw de wheel
’Way in de middle o’ de air.
De big wheel run by faith,
De little wheel run by de Grace o’ God,
A wheel in a wheel
’Way in de middle o’ de air.

1 Better min', my sister, how you walk on de cross,
’Way in de middle o’ de air,
Yo' foot might slip an’ yo' soul be los'.
’Way in de middle o’ de air. [Refrain]

2 Let me tell you, brother, what a hypocrite will do,
’Way in de middle o’ de air,
He’ll low-rate you an’ he’ll low-rate me.
’Way in de middle o’ de air. [Refrain]

3 Ol' Satan wears a clubfoot shoe,
’Way in de middle o’ de air,
If you don' min', he'll slip it on you.
’Way in de middle o’ de air. [Refrain]
