Dime

Tell me you want to laugh and I'll show you joy
That a smile is more than a hypocritical gesture
Tell me you want to sing and I'll teach you the melody
Better to stay quiet than my words that are lies
Tell me the time that the clock of your short life marks
Don't you think it's time to give time to the giver of life.

Who is life? What is the path? What is the truth?
The boy wonders, the grown-up, the rich, the poor too
That everything is written, that everything is said, they may not know
We are all children of the one who made the sky, the flower, and the fish
Without him there is no life, he is the way, the essence is him.

What is the flower without water? How would it grow?
The sky without the sun, the night without the moon
What would become of the fish without the sea?
What would become of a student without a teacher?
What would become of a child without a mother?
What would become of a singer without their voice?
What is man without God?
Just a dead man walking
Soon you'll need him
Let's not lie to ourselves.

Who is life? What is the path? What is the truth?
The boy wonders, the grown-up, the rich, the poor too
That everything is written, that everything is said, they may not know
We are all children of the one who made the sky, the flower, and the fish
Without him there is no life, he is the way, the essence is him.
