Life Is Like A Journey

Patrick Cannell © 2009
Have you ever wondered what might lie behind the door?
I believe in heaven but I don't believe in yours.
You might think I'm right, you might think I'm wrong,
Either way the argument goes on and on and on.
It sets the world on fire.

If you want to start a fight among the ismists,
Talk of God or paradise will get them shaking fists.
Power is the wand, ignorance the bond,
Either way the argument goes on and on and on.
It sets the world on fire.

Life is like a journey but you don't know where it ends.
It must be going somewhere but our destiny is always unknown.

Rampant speculation leads to cruel and murderous acts,
Learn the difference between opinions and facts.
Ritually pure, logic is the lure.
Knowing the unknowable is genius for sure.
It sets the world on fire.

Life is like a riddle but you cannot see the sense.
It's got to have a meaning but our destiny is always unknown.

And if you feel it's no big deal
Will you be more inclined to kill or steal?

Have you ever wondered how things look from over there?
Do not heed the preachers who manipulate through fear.
Some of it is right, some of it is wrong
But which is which is why the argument goes on and on.
It sets the world on fire.
