NO QUESTION FOR A SAGE Lyrics by Samuel Ferrer

(Verse I)
I walk alone,
Skipping your words across a lake.
Who’ll make this choice?
As the ripples reflect your face.
So scale your cliff,
Dive in the sea or cross the globe.
When you return,
You still blankly stare out the window.

(Chorus)
You wait for prophesy
And the sun and the moon to mate.
What is good?
(Can’t you see?)
It’s no question for a sage.
So don’t look left
And don’t peek right,
One more time I can’t abide.

(Verse II)
Our happiness
Needs oracles read by the wise?
It should be free,
Not some unattainable prize.
This game’s not right:
Gold’s not more precious when it’s new.
Don’t fake a fight,
I can see through an act so shrewd.

(Chorus)
