The Questioning

from In Spite of Entropy by A Montreal Paul

/

lyrics

Is it a trick? Is it illusion?
Is it magic? Is that the wrong conclusion?
To be reaching, what's your teaching?
Is it anything like the I-ching?
Some angle, some profound position
Of genius, truly a magician
Of the mind where you will find
The questioning will take some time

What are these things that are holding me back?
What are these things that I seem to lack?
You can tell me, or maybe not
Try to sell me on what I haven't got

I've been getting mystified
I'm suspecting somebody lied
I'm tempted to skip to a future page
Look ahead in this book to a beckoning age
With science proceeding, it's casting spells
Here's hoping all will then be well
You understand the sleight of hand
That seems to meet a great demand

What are these things...

The attempt to live with things in perspective
Can be a tad slippery, for perspectives vary
How you look determines what you see

Sometimes I feel it
Most times I don't
What will reveal it?
I guess I won't
Whatever's beyond
What do I know?
Will I cling on
When it's time to go?

What are these things...
