Scientist

Scientist, come sit with me

Put down your books

While I pour you a drink

Like minds

Have gathered here

As the green fairy

Is getting ready to sing

We'll look out the window

And gaze at the stars

We'll go through the questions

That no one dares to ask

We'll untangle dreams

And go through the facts

We'll sketch a world

Worth giving a damn

Scientist, will we ever solve

All the riddles

Of this beautiful world?

Is there a pair of eyes

Watching from above

Or are we the children

Of a cosmic burst?

We don't have the answers

We might never know

Who's spinning the Earth

And igniting the Sun

What brought us here

Where do we belong?

I'm drowning in the night sky

I'm feeling so small

Help me make sense

Of this terrible mess

Why must we endure

So much pain and distress?

Do we need to endlessly

Stumble through the night

To learn how

To appreciate the light?
