A Curious Paradox Lyrics by Burke Moses

The Fantasticks (The New Off-Broadway Recording)

2006

[EL GALLO, spoken]
There is a curious paradox
That no one can explain
Who understands the secret
Of the reaping of the grain?
Who understands why spring is born
Out of winter's laboring pain?
Or why we all must die a bit
Before we grow again?
I do not know the answer
I merely know it's true
I hurt them for that reason
And myself a little bit, too
