Is There a Difference?

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?
