Is There a Difference? Lyrics

Is there a difference between yes and no?
Is there a difference between up and down?
Must I fear what others fear?
What nonsenseSome people are content
Enjoying things that belong to tradition
With the seasons they cast their lot
Without a questionOther men are clear and bright and solid
Other men are sharp and clever and jolly
And we goIs there a difference between high and low?
Is there a difference between then and now?
Do we have to live in pain and fear?
What nonsensePeople are drifting like the waves on the sea
Without direction like the restless wind
Not knowing forward, not knowing back
Just existingOther men are strong and full of courage
Other men are witty and full of knowledge
And we goOther men are clear and bright and solid
(I alone am drifting on the sea)

Other men are sharp and clever and jolly
(Restless like the wind)
And we goIs there a difference?
Is there really a difference?
Yes and noIs there a difference?
Is there really a difference?
Up and downIs there a difference?
Is there really a difference?
High and lowIs there a difference?
Is there really a difference?
Then and nowIs there a difference?
Is there really a difference?
Yes and noIs there a difference?
Is there really a difference?
Up and downIs there a difference?
Is there really a difference?
