    I love this song

    See if you can give a brief description of what the song means and the winner might get my new nutbag soothing balm.

    Five For Fighting The Riddle Lyrics There was a man back in '95
    Whose heart ran out of summers
    But before he died, I asked him

    Wait, what's the sense in life
    Come over me, Come over me

    He said,

    Son why you got to sing that tune
    Catch a Dylan song or some eclipse of the moon
    Let an angel swing and make you swoon
    Then you will see... You will see

    Then he said,

    Here's a riddle for you
    Find the Answer
    There's a reason for the world
    You and I...

    Picked up my kid from school today

    Did you learn anything cause in the world today
    You can't live in a castle far away
    Now talk to me, come talk to me

    He said,

    Dad I'm big but we're smaller than small
    In the scheme of things, well we're nothing at all
    Still every mother's child sings a lonely song
    So play with me, come play with me

    And Hey Dad
    Here's a riddle for you
    Find the Answer
    There's a reason for the world
    You and I...

    I said,

    Son for all I've told you
    When you get right down to the
    Reason for the world...
    Who am I?

    There are secrets that we still have left to find
    There have been mysteries from the beginning of time
    There are answers we're not wise enough to see

    He said... You looking for a clue I Love You free...

    The batter swings and the summer flies
    As I look into my angel's eyes
    A song plays on while the moon is high
    over me
    Something comes over me

    I guess we're big and I guess we're small
    If you think about it man you know we got it all
    Cause we're all we got on this bouncing ball
    And I love you free
    I love you freely

    Here's a riddle for you
    Find the Answer
    There's a reason for the world
    You and I...

    I think the song means that we simply can't know everything. Maybe finding huge, spiritual meaning isn't as important as enjoying what's in front of us.

    As individuals we feel insignificant compared to the grander scheme of things.

    In actuality, the world was created for man not man for the world.

    Gumby, your song reminds me of a Yiddish proverb:

    Everyone should keep two messages in his pockets to remind him of his true state. One message reads, "For my sake the world was created." The other reads, "I am dust and ashes."

    How is your knee since your surgery? Still recovering?
