Traces of Design Lyrics by Ciaran Murphy

0

Well, they're looking for their answers
I'm just looking for a clue
And they meditate on nature
Is it too good to be true?
And why can't the creator
Just deliver us a sign?
Or is it all around us
In traces of design?
Could nature be divine?
The atheists and sceptics
The cynical and wise
There's no meaning to the cosmos
There's no secrets in the skies
And they say with sure conviction
That there's no guiding hand
But their answers raise more questions and
We're back where we began
To the origins of man
Well they meditate in Asia
Where Buddha's on the throne
They've got Allah in Afghanistan
And Jesus back at home
And they've got Krishna in Calcutta
And they're praying day and night
All the wise words from around the world
Will lead us to the light
But can all of them be right?
Let's think about our planets
And the way that they revolve
Our very solar system
And what it all involves
Such finely-tuned mechanics
Precisely spaced in time
A perfect working structure
That nobody designed
Or do you wanna change your mind?
Well dear old Thomas Hardy
He searched for fifty years
And we suffered John Paul Sartre
Oh, he bored us all to tears
And Stalin banned religion
So our feet stayed on the ground
And if Marx invented gravity
His theory would be sound
But who makes the world go round?
Now there's talk of new dimensions
Or realities that bend
All that loopholes in the order
That any day could send
Perceptions into chaos
And souls to other sides
Or is it all just rubbish
For wise men who decide?
They've got something to hide
'Cause there's evidence in chaos
There's evidence in calm
There's evidence in order
And there's evidence in man
And there's evidence in vision
And there's evidence in sound
And will you say that there's no proof
Or is it all around?
From heaven to the ground
