The Certainty of Chance |
| A butterfly flies through the forest rain |
| And turns the wind into a hurricane |
| I know that it will happen |
| 'Cause I believe in the certainty of chance |
| A schoolboy yawns, sits back and hits return |
| While round the world computers crash and burn |
| I know that it will happen |
| 'Cause I believe in the certainty of chance |
| And I believe |
| I can see it all so clearly now |
| You must go and I must set you free |
| 'Cause only that will bring you back to me |
| I know that it will happen |
| Because I believe in the certainty of chance |
| Sometimes at night the darkness and silence weighs on me. |
| Peace = |
| frightens me. |
| Perhaps I fear it most of all. |
| I feel it’s only a facade, = |
| hiding the face of hell. |
| I think of what’s in store for my children = |
| tomorrow; |
| The world will be wonderful, they say; |
| but from whose = |
| viewpoint? |
| We need to live in a state of suspended animation, like a = |
| work of art; |
| in a state of enchantment… detached. |
| Detached. |
