Lyrics

If you've ever question beliefs that you hold you're not alone
But you oughtta realize that every myth is a metaphor in the case of
Christianity and
Judaism there exist the belief that spiritual matters are enslaved to history
The Buddhists believe that the functional aspects override the myth while other religions use the literal core to build foundations with
See half the world sees the myth as fact while it's seen as a lie by the other half and the simple truth is that it's none of that and somehow no matter what the world keeps turning
Somehow we get by without ever learning
Science and religion are not mutually exclusive
In fact for better understanding we take the facts of science and apply them
And if both factors keep evolving then we continue getting information but closing off possibilities makes it hard to see the bigger picture
Consider the case of the women whose faith helped her make it through when she was raped and cut up left for dead in a trunk her beliefs held true
It doesn't matter if it's real or not cause some things are better left without a doubt and if it works then it gets the job done
Somehow no matter what the world keeps turning
