Round and round and fast and forward br Steady balancing on either side br Swaying, speeding, not a coward br This is your one and only ride br Cycle Cycle, turning at the feet br Hands on the bar or up in the air br A greeting smile when strangers meet br A ring of the bell to say: I'm here! br br But if you take a wrong turn br Or in your tyre you find a hole br Or maybe you crash as you're trying to learn br Well, get up; dust yourself and take back control br br This is your bike and the owner is you br One paddle is for people, one is for progress br The wheels might get worn out while the tube is new br The cog gives you problems, these are yours to address br br The road gets rough, just tie the lose parts with string br The chain needs oil, the water bottle runs dry br You swallow hard and just keep paddling br Then a steep hill comes up and you wish to flybr br Nkululeko Mdudubr br
