Lyrics

[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
