Lyrics

Disguised As Poetry
Copyright 1998 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 the whole 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 of 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 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 will want to challenge us, to test what we might know
But there are many answers they can only find alone
-





CHORUS
