And so it was deemed prudent We should walk upon the earth We should mourn our dying We should celebrate our births And as the darkness ushers in the howling from the north There is a daily reckoning It's a balancing of sorts
And I cannot call it easy this thing no one will survive Though we all are breathing there are few of us alive And we will stand here perishing in hopeless circumstance And the wisdom of the world will tell us not to take the chance
And I say I will be a fool for You anyday I don't claim to understand why You were pleased to do it this way But I will be a fool for You anway I can't explain Your promises but I can claim them anyway And I will be a fool for You anyday
As we hug this circle and it spins us round and round May we hesitate to trust in all the knowledge we have found All the theories all the postulates and the lot of what we've learned We can never overestimate how fast it all will burn
And I say I will be a fool for You anyday I don't claim to understand why You were pleased to do it this way But I will be a fool for You anway I can't explain Your promises but I can claim them anyway And I don't need a miracle, I don't need a sign I don't need tomorrow because I'm alive and doing fine today And I will be a fool for You anyday
