Five For Fighting lyrics : "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 high 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...
