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 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"
 
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're 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
