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

There's a reason for the world

             (repeat)
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

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
