I wonder
Do you ever wonder?
Why a dog barks,
A cat purrs,
A bird sings,
Why the sky is blue
Or
The leaves are green?
My friends think
I think too much
But I think they don’t think enough
Because if they philosophized
They’d realize
It just doesn’t matter.
It didn’t matter yesterday
It doesn’t matter now
And it won’t matter tomorrow
So what’s up with all the sorrow?
And man I try!
I try so hard I cry
I cry so hard
A piece of me dies
It dies so dead
Man, I fly….
To some place
To some day
Far far away….
They string up lights on Christmas Eve
Sing and dance around a tree
And celebrate a man they don’t even believe in!
If they believed
They’d realize
He didn’t come to die
To rise
Be deified!
He came to live
And give life!
They didn’t understand
The master plan
Bring heaven to Earth
With the brotherhood of man….
So I say
Goddamn this human race
And all their petty ways
It’s such a simple place
But I don’t wanna be here.
Though I can not stay
I don’t really wanna go
Because I think I know
But I know I don’t know for sure
What’s really out there….
And still I try.
I try so hard I cry
I cry so hard
A piece of me dies
It dies so dead
Man, I fly….
To someplace
To some day
Far far away.
He’s got green eyes
She’s got blue
They got brown eyes and curly hair
So what!
Who cares?!
What your father did to my father may have got us here
But it won’t take us where we wanna go!
Will we leave this world
A better place than we found it
Or
Is it just for show?!
I say
God damn
This human race
And all their petty ways
It’s such a simple place
But I don’t wanna be here!
Though I can not stay
I don’t really wanna go
Because I think I know
But I know I don’t know for sure
What’s really out there….
And man I try!
I try so hard I cry
I cry so hard
A piece of me dies….
It dies so dead,
Man, I fly
To some place
To some day
Far far away.
I wonder,
Do you ever wonder?
