Answer and Question

from Troubleshooting the Cosmos by Michael McGuire

/

lyrics

I feel just like driftwood; out on the ocean,
I’m not going anywhere but I’m perpetual motion,
Earth island in a dark sea; roots break thru the ground,
Surface life glitters and teases and the unknown is never found.

I just had a feeling or was that just a thought,
Am I what man has mastered or am I what god has wrought.

I don’t remember the question so I question the answer,
A child stumbles across the living-room floor but she moves like a dancer,
The body falters; takes two steps back then follows the mind,
How could the mind’s eye see so much yet be so blind.

I just had a feeling or was that just a thought,
Am I what man has mastered or am I what god has wrought.

My feet long for some solid rock; my eyes search for true vision,
But all I get is a vague impression and desire mixed with indecision,
Some people believe they know; some people know they believe,
Yet we sit here in our guilty innocence waiting for the big reprieve.

I just had a question or was that just an answer,
Am I the music and the dance or am I the dancer.
