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 meHe said
Son, why you got to 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 seeThen he said
Here's a riddle for you
Find the answer
There's a reason for the world
You and IPicked up my kid from school today
Did you learn anything causin' the world today
You can't live in a castle far away
Now talk to me, come talk to meHe 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 meAnd, hey, dad
Here's a riddle for you
Find the answer
There's a reason for the world
You and II 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 seeHe said
You looking for a clue
I love you freeThe 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 meI 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 freelyHere's a riddle for you
Find the answer
There's a reason for the world
You and I
