The Riddle Lyrics By Five For Fighting

    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 gotta 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 ya
    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 dad here’s a riddle for ya
    find the answer
    there’s a reason for the world
    you and i
    i said son for all i’ve told ya
    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’re 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 free i love you freely

    here’s a riddle for ya
    find the answer
    there’s a reason for the world
    you and i
