lyrics

Countless years of past
Those around amassed
Together they tried
To take down the giant whys
The giant why

With all basics tended to
Can’t just be must know
Many scopes of looking through
Each justifies its own in its own mind
Faith through faith
Reason through reason
Choice or fate
The giant why

Forging for the sake
Of forging something new
Casting a better light
On the things that we put ourselves through
Reaching out and grasping for
The things we choose to pursue
Deeper in than we asked to be
Down in what we stagger through

The strangest mutation
Meaning over life
Wealth of fascination
Pushing past survival
The giant why

Travel cloaked in crowds
New ideas ringing loud
Past the break of bread
Jesus finally said okay
Okay

Sedentary life in body
But mind roams on
Stretched out past me

Forging for the sake
Of forging something new
Casting a better light
On the things that we put ourselves through
Reaching out and grasping for
The things we choose to pursue
Deeper in than we asked to be
Down in what we stagger through

All the great explorers
Wanted something more
God and nation, wealth and power
Underneath they’re feeding our
Great command

Homeland of the mind
And the comfort left behind
Eyes in lenses, brains in jars
Thoughts exploding, billion stars
The giant why

Forging for the sake
Of forging something new
Casting a better light
On the things that we put ourselves through
Reaching out and grasping for
The things we choose to pursue
Deeper in than we asked to be
Down in what we stagger through
