Agree with mtndew00...

"And no one will tell the truth, and no one will hide it from you ... And no one can tell the truth, and no one can hide it from you Like birds around the grave"

Such beautiful lines. People won't tell the truth, nor can they. We have our ideas, and our names, and our borrowed symbols....all lies. But they also can't hide the truth from you. You're free to see God's nameless creations as they are.

This is also a line speaking to the bastard child. Growing up he'll know he's fatherless. Nobody will tell him, but nobody can hide it from him either.
