This man
philosopher, mathematician and astronomer
said "the sun was a star"
but the Roman Inquisition
thought he'd gone to far

Found him guilty of heresy,
but you will never guess
what happened next?

Tongue imprisoned for
what it could say,
his life they would take,
and so poor Bruno was
burned at the stake.

Can you conceive?
How do you believe?
What do you construct?
Thoughts in mind are tucked
No choice which house you are born
When death visits some will celebrate
Others mourn.

Once I believed in everything I was told
Magic was everywhere it's truth so bold
Then a voice, came one day
Santa clause
Tooth fairy
"That stuff...no way"
What! not true?
My mind
Not knowing what to do!
So what other things ain't true?
Tell me, tell me, all that is true?
"well, all the things that are hollow and dull"
Everything else is pulling the wool
So many a year did I walk the land
Where magic was buried under the sand
Until realising the fool I had been
It was time to shuffle the cards
I was still the fool
Chasing a butterfly
But now I have to grapple
The concept of
Vomiting out the apple

If all the world's a stage
then Bill and me
are on the same page

So when treading the boards
step softly
don't go crossing swords,
give the best performance
from you're soul
lift others from their holes,
put a smile on their face
if things don't work out
try changing roles

Make it the best play ever written
try for a good ending
maybe leave someone smitten

When the curtain comes down
and it's just you on you're own
there should be no frown
go to you're backstage bedroom
sleep tight under the full moon
awake as the birds sing
who knows what the day brings.

We could be
deceived

But..............

There must be
a truth
to be deceived
about.

"what's wrong with right now?"

I had it, now I lost it!
the big Joke
a fish looking for water!
the masters stick
gave me a poke.
