I really have always liked the music made by "Five for Fighting." Their newest song on the radio is called "The Riddle (You and I)" and I really liked it the first time that I heard it. Today, on the way to work, I really listened to all of the words... I'm not big on posting song lyrics here, but this one really made a connection with me, for some reason...


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 yah
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 DadHere's a riddle for yah
Find the Answer
There's a reason for the world
You and I...

I said, "Son for all I've told yah
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 freeI love you freely

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