The Riddle

There was a man back in '95

Whose heart ran out of summers

But before he died, I asked him

?Wait, what's the sense in life?

Come over me, Come over me?

He said, "Son why you got to sing that tune?

Catch a Dylan song or some eclipse of the moon?

Let an angel swing and make you swoon

Then you will see, you will see"

Then he said, "Here's a riddle for you

Find the answer: There's a reason for the world

You and I"

Picked up my kid from school today

Did you learn anything? ?Cause in the world today

You can't live in a castle far away

Now talk to me, come talk to me

He said, "Dad I'm big, but we're smaller than small

In the scheme of things, well we're nothing at all

Still every mother's child sings a lonely song

So play with me, come play with me"

?And hey Dad, here's a riddle for you

Find the answer: There's a reason for the world

You and I?

I said, "Son for all I've told you

When you get right down to the

Reason for the world who am I?"

There are secrets that we still have left to find

There have been mysteries from the beginning of time

There are answers we're not wise enough to see

He said, ?You looking for a clue? I love you free?

The batter swings and the summer flies

As I look into my angel's eyes

A song plays on while the moon is hiding over me

Something comes over me

I guess we're big and I guess we're small

If you think about it man you know we got it all

'Cause we're all we got on this bouncing ball

And I love you free, I love you freely

Here's a riddle for you

Find the answer: There's a reason for the world

You and I
