Black & White . . .

Nothing in life is strictly black or white.  It's the shades that make it all so interesting. This song appears on the album Black & White Then Back but was actually written about 1993 with three, very special, little men in mind. It even has lyrics.


Innocence and wisdom coexist inside their minds,
Together with appreciation for the things we miss
In our haste and our big business.
Always in awe of the wheels spinning round
And a laugh for the foolish things big men do.

The poet said, 'Trailing clouds of glory 
We come and we go.'
What do we really know?
Smiling so brightly 
Betraying the years 
They have yet to try.
Those little men 
With that glory;
Riddles and bedtime stories;
Little men with that glory 
In their eyes.

Everybody thinks about the world and what the future brings.
Who really knows the plan and all its subtleties?
We're really smart, at least that's what we think.
Going our own way in blissful retreat
From the prospect of seeing things too clearly.
