Question Mark Exclamation

Question mark says

How do you do it?

You jump into everything

before you know

Exclamation says

How do you do it?

You stand at the doorway

asking where to go

What if we miss?

Then aim again!

What if we fall?

Get up again!

What if we're wrong?

We'll learn something!

But what if we're right?

Now you're talking!

Question mark

Exclamation

Round and round

the conversation

One says maybe

one says go

One wants a reason

one wants to know

Why this road?

Because it's open!

Why right now?

Because we're here!

What comes next?

We'll see when we get there!

That's not an answer

It's enough for me!

Question mark laughs

You're impossible

Exclamation laughs

You think too much

You count every reason

before taking one step

You take three steps

before counting at all

So question mark asks

Should we slow down?

Exclamation says

Maybe you're right

Exclamation asks

Should we turn back?

Question mark says

Not tonight

Wait—

Did you just ask me

a question?

Did you just give me

an answer?

Look at us now

Look at us now

Trading our places

and figuring it out

Question mark

Exclamation

Different kinds

of hesitation

One bends low

one stands tall

Put them together

we can handle it all

Ask before jumping

jump when it's time

Think for a minute

then cross the line

Not every question

needs an answer today

Not every answer

needs to shout its way

Sometimes a maybe

becomes a yes

Sometimes a no

saves us a mess

Question mark says

I still have questions

Exclamation says

Good!

Keep a few

Question mark says

I might need courage

Exclamation says

I've got enough for two

What if tomorrow

changes the plan?

Then ask me again!

And what if I finally

know who I am?

Say it like you mean it!

Question mark

Exclamation

Still in the same

conversation

You bring the why

I'll bring the go

You ask the question

I'll make it

move!
