looking up at the sky as the raindrops fall
staring out the window aiming to stand tall
Who are you when no one's watching
who are you when you are free?
And does it matter to anyone who you are
Where do we go when we close our eyes?
Do we wander forever, visiting far off lands?
is there a place in the world where all forgotten things reside?
And if I find it can I bring them home again?
Do we live in our bodies, or do we live in our minds
is there a person wearing my clothes that isn't me?
Can we change to be not us and leave the real us behind
Or is the person we become the person we're meant to be?
Can there be truth in lies and colour in sounds?
How do we know if up is up and down is down?
And if I cry at night, does someone hear me when I pray?
When I'm down and lonely is someone with me through the day?
Is this real? Or is life just a mirage on water?
If I put my hand to it will it stay to feel my touch
Or will it run away from me like a tumbleweed on sand?
And if we'd pause for just a moment, maybe we could live forever
Eternal youth, that's something, wouldn't that be grand?
At the end of the day what is everything about?
Is it love, or knowledge, a hand to hold, a fist of cash?
Are there stars in the sky or is reality illusion?
And if I told you that I loved you would you run and not look back?
I can ask questions forever, but I can't expect an answer
because science is a lie and there's no fact to be found
truth is a crude concept, not one that holds any water
and you can laugh at cynicism all you like
but I don't.
because the cynics have it right.
Suppose... suppose we have only dreamed and made up these things like sun, sky, stars, and moon, and Aslan himself. In that case, it seems to me that the made-up things are a good deal better than the real ones. And if this black pits of a kingdom is the best you can make, then it's a poor world. And we four can make a dream world to lick your real one hollow.
ReplyDeleteAs for me, I shall live like a Narnian even if there isn't any Narnia. So thank you very much for supper. We're going to leave your court at once and make our way across your great darkness to search for our land above!
