Wheels
Journey of Liberation: Wheels of Freedom in The Flying Burrito Brothers' Song
Lyrics
We've all got wheels
We all possess the means to escape or move forward in life.
To take ourselves away
We have the ability to use various methods, represented by wheels, to distance ourselves.
We've got the telephones to say
We can communicate through telephones to express what we struggle to articulate in person.
What we can't say
Using phones to convey thoughts or emotions that are difficult to verbalize directly.
We've all gone higher
Collectively, we are progressing and elevating ourselves continually.
And higher every day
Advancing and reaching greater heights on a daily basis.
Come on wheels take this boy away
Encouraging the metaphorical "wheels" to lead or guide someone away.
We're not afraid to ride
We face challenges without fear, expressing bravery in our journey.
We're not afraid to die
Conveying a fearless attitude towards both challenges and mortality.
So come on wheels take me home today
Invoking the wheels to guide the speaker home on this particular day.
Come on wheels take this boy away
Reiterating the desire for the wheels to take the speaker away.
Now when I feel
Reflecting on a sense that time is running out for the speaker.
My time is almost up
Feeling a sense of urgency as the speaker approaches the end of their time.
And destiny is in my right hand
Believing that destiny is within control, held in the speaker's right hand.
I'll turn to him
Turning to the one who has strengthened the speaker's faith.
Who made my faith so strong
Attributing strong faith to the one who created it.
Come on wheels make this boy a man
Urging the wheels to guide the speaker into adulthood.
We're not afraid to ride
Facing challenges with bravery, unafraid to confront difficulties.
We're not afraid to die
Expressing courage in the face of mortality, unafraid to die.
Come on wheels take me home today
Summoning the wheels to take the speaker home on this day.
Come on wheels take this boy away
Reiterating the desire for the wheels to take the speaker away.
Come on wheels take this boy away
Continuing the plea for the wheels to lead the speaker away.
