Bicycle Wheels and Veritas

Bicycle Wheels and Veritas

My little rebel, just ride on past

When the road gets too rough

You can run through the grass

I won't stop you, Little Boy Blue.

No need to say your future is cast

You'll never do this or you'll never do that

The last shall be first and the first shall be last

That's why I'm telling you Little Boy Blue,

Go spin awhile -you take a ride

I'll be waiting here on the other side

For you to come home and I'll abide

You know the truth deep down inside

My beautiful Little Boy Blue.

You see the world in a way I can't

Your perception is reality, little man

And if there's a God, in any way I can

I'll walk with you Little Boy Blue.

You take all the time you need

To figure out this realm of greed

Countless lives wasted in futile chase

On the principles of saving face

But the luck of the draw is your saving grace

No fakeness here my little prince

My sincerest Little Boy Blue.

And if you don't like the way others go

You can make your own way in the world, you know

And you'll never be wont for an ally in tow

I'm right here, Little Boy Blue.
