Life Substance #41 - Answers in Terms of Weights and Measures

+ Show full styles

[Intro: ]

[Verse 1]
We map the galaxies and split the stone,
We weigh the flesh and we count the bone.
We build our scales and we draw the lines,
Looking for truth in the grand designs.
But every cause is just a new effect,
A chain of matter we dissect.
In the realm of sizes, speeds, and space,
We're running blind in a physical race.

[Pre-Chorus]
And so we find...

[Chorus]
These are the answers in terms of weights and measures,
The calculated facts and the earthly treasures.
Life substance number forty-one,
The counting of the stars and sun!
But the ruler and the scale are blind,
They cannot see the living mind.
We measure the world from end to end,
But miss the message it intends to send.

[Verse 2]
Driven by the instinct to survive,
We calculate to keep ourselves alive.
We master atoms and the worldly laws,
But never find the very first cause.
It’s a world of dead and cold degree,
Where everything is just A, B, and C.
The intellect has built a mighty tower,
Obsessed with physical force and power.

[Bridge]
Yet still there is a hidden grace,
In all the numbers of time and space.
For when the calculations are complete,
And the victory of science is bittersweet...
The emptiness of the measured fact
Demands a new, divine exact!
The numbers fail, the equations fall,
And we ask: "Who is the life behind it all?"

[Final Chorus]
Beyond the answers in terms of weights and measures,
Beyond the facts and the earthly treasures.
Life substance number forty-one,
Has done its work, the race is run!
It brings us to the ultimate door,
To seek the 'Who' and seek the 'More'.
We measured the world from end to end,
Now the spiritual journey can transcend!

[Outro]
Forty-one... the scale and the weight...
Opening the cosmic gate.
From dead matter to the living soul,
The fractions awaken to the whole.
Answers in terms of weights and measures...
Just stepping stones to eternal treasures.

[End]
