The Casual Observer
If you know the meaning of life, does it make it not worth living?
If you know why there is strife, can you stop others from grieving?
I watch it all go, even though I know
Cackle at their pleas, and shake them off like fleas
If the world could be saved with smiles, would we all frown?
If it was our turn to go up the aisle, would we all go down?
I watch it all go, even though I know
Cackle at their pleas, and shake them off like fleas
It's amazing the things we yearn to know, that even we do learn to show
How it doesn't make much sense-- the simplicity of hopping a fence
The sarendipity of going too far, the ethereality of moving a star
I watch it all go, even though I know
Cackle at their pleas, and shake them off like fleas
If you can save people that die, why do you dare not say?
If you can stop all of the lies, why let them go their way?
I watch it all go, even though I know
Cackle at their pleas, and shake them off like fleas
If you understand how a bird flies, can you help the lame soar too?
If you can explain why tears cry, can you stop what the evil do?
I watch it all go, even though I know
Cackle at their pleas, and shake them off like fleas
Be an observer, nothing more, and know what true love is meant for
Believe in the sunken shadow, adore charisma, but scorn the shallow
Save the world with smiles, and watch it all go
