How Do I Know
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
How do I know that those mountains aren't cardboard
How do I know that the world is round
Why should I know just because you've told me
There's molten rock underneath my ground
How do I know there's a god in the sky
Looking down and hearing me
Why should you say I can't love any man
Have his children and still be free
Go on voting, striking and fighting
Go on searching, hiding and laughing
I can't change you I can't even try
But let me live like I think I can
Then when it's time for me to say goodbye
I'll have lived just a part of man
Go on voting, striking and fighting
Go on searching, hiding and laughing
I can't change you I can't even try
But let me live like I think I can
Then when it's time for me to simply die
I'll have lived just a part of man
