Both Sides Of Today

I was laying on a carpet with a book about life and death

I read something I couldn’t grasp, got scared and lost my breath

My mind just couldn’t fathom how the universe began

Like a pop-up toy my body lifted off from the floor

I was shaking when I carefully read that line once more

The words were chasing my worried mind on the run

How could I expand the meaning of before?

How can it be, that time doesn’t have a beginning or an end

Has it always been around?

An endless space at both sides of today?

Will that answer never ever be found?

I was lost in speculation, looking for the truth

If my mind was on vacation, I blame it on my youth

The truth was playing hide and seek, retained its mystique

How can it be, that time doesn’t have a beginning or an end

Has it always been around?

An endless space at both sides of today?

Will that answer never ever be found?

When I see a star today I surrender

Delighted I lay down amazed by its splendour

I don’t need to know if it’s close or far away

I just want its mystery to stay

In the middle of before and in a while I found you

That’s the only thing in the world that needs to be true

I’ll watch the sky pretending that the moon is a ball

Mysteries are wonderful in a brain a bit too small

In a brain a bit too small

An endless space at both sides of today

Is not the reason why my hair is turning grey
