[Verse 1]

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 gotta 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"

[Chorus]

Then he said, "Here's a riddle for ya

Find the answer

There's a reason for the world

You and I"

[Verse 2]

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 nothin' at all

Still, every mother's child sings a lonely song

So play with me, come play with me"

[Chorus]

"And hey, Dad, here's a riddle for ya

Find the answer

There's a reason for the world

You and I"

I said, "Son, for all I've told ya

When you get right down to the

Reason for the world

Who am I?"

[Bridge]

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're lookin' for a clue? I love you free"

[Verse 3]

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, somethin' comes over me

I guess we're big, and I guess we're small

If you think about it, man, ya know, we got it all

'Cause we're all we got on this bouncin' ball

And I love ya free, I love you freely

[Chorus]

Here's a riddle for ya

Find the answer

There's a reason for the world

You and I
