Lyrics
We May Never Know
Lyrics and Music by Woody Russell / ©℗ 2003, Woody Russell, Cats Up The Street Music, ASCAP
Is there a moment
That clearly defines
When the whole truth was born?
And what about that which lies between the lines?
We seek out the answer
In god’s and philosophy
On mountains and oceans
On the mean streets of the city
But, we may never know
We may never know
We gas up the cars
The lights come on at night
We get an honest look at ourselves
In pictures from satellites
We can’t recall the pain
But remember the fear
We know so little of the miracle
That brought us here
And we may never know
We may never know
We may never know
We build idols and cell phone towers
And camp fires on the beach
The sun rises, we wake from dreams
Most of which remain completely out of reach
And the sky is still an ancient blue
So, does all the rhyme and reason we seek
Only matter if we believe it’s true?
And we may never know
We may never know
We may never know
