The Riddle by Five For Fighting

There was a man back in ninety five
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
