Disguised As Poetry
Copyright Dana Clark
Most of us have wondered how the universe began
Some claim a cosmic accident
Some say a holy plan
The facts alone will never fill the hunger of our hearts
We long to comprehend this world of which we are a part
CHORUS: With parable and metaphor the ancient tales are told
As we listen all the wisdom of the past unfolds
A myth is humankind's response to boundless mystery
Each story bears a seed of truth disguised as poetry
The people near the islands say the world began with waves
People near the sun say it was light their god first gave
Many souls in every age who've tried to understand
Found comfort in believing we were made by loving hands
CHORUS
When children ask their questions they deserve to hear the truth
So we must find a way to make the oldest stories new
And they need time to question, time to wonder on their own
For there are many answers they can only find alone
CHORUS
