Where do we come from Where do we go Where do we come from Where do we go It's not physics or spirits or magic The most powerful force on earth Is the output of our hearts in action Where do we come from Where do we go Where do we come from Where do we go What is a sin? Christians tell ya On the way to the hell that they sell ya How could anyone believe there's a hell that exists Just cause its printed in a book placed inside a baby's crib Whose to choose the Jews, were they the first who knew? Can you even become one, without genes or I do's? They seem like they read their books, and then debate the verses But that doesn't mean they know where we're headed when its curtains I've heard that the Qur'an implies we're all Gods That's something I can agree with, though it's packaged up with flaws Yet another religion that includes a hell and heaven Why preach in ways that threaten instead of offering a suggestion Hindus believe we go somewhere and then come back again And Buddhists believe in nothingness, so how'd it all begin? Why put such trust in ancient scrolls by those who claim to know Who do not offer evidence of where we come from and where we go Where do we come from Where do we go It's not physics or spirits or magic The most powerful force on earth Is the output of our hearts in action Where do we come from Where do we go It seems wrong to create our laws From texts with stories meant as a tool So I hope it's not a crime in our land If I get my teachings from a squirrel It seems pretty obvious that life's present at conception Though it was also there before so why'd we make up an exception Is it lazy or our best that whenever things get messy We blindly reach for passages we claim came from the heavens Why when we cannot decide, do we claim faith without a question I wish someone one had talked to me, cause it took time, tears, and an intention Not just the violation of my unrequested circumcision But to own that I have feelings about what's happening to women What could be so special about new human beings To sacrifice the one you love, for one that's not yet breathing Reproduction's not a miracle, when even squirrels can do it And if there is an afterlife, why wouldn't they be there with us So who's to say when something's sacred? Or who's to decide how someone made this? I just want the truth, though I do believe in something But if the afterlife's just humans, so much for evolution Where do we come from Where do we go It's not physics or spirits or magic The most powerful force on earth Is the output of our hearts in action Where do we come from Where do we go To think of something useful religion has to offer It's simply not enough that I can have friends for just a dollar If your utility is proven, then shouldn't we feel liberated But blood and scars and question marks, leave us humans subjugated To these words you've thrust on us Read this, believe this, you must, we trust Yet the sun and the rain and the earth forms a crust Claim what you want, I can eat from the mud We shouldn't need to fear what happens when we're dead Though I sure do like history, our futures are unread I wonder how it started, how could they convince the masses To live in fear perpetually about what will happen after this Something just seems logical, that it's not so bad what follows In fact, I think it's great for all, it's as beautiful as the cosmos In the absence of the truth, religion offers nothing one can use And their influence over marriage and death is lose-lose No one should control who you love and make you afraid of where you go People who don't know you, shouldn't tell you what to know I might as well just take the leap and go this way alone And give my chances to the stars and squirrels who say What ever they want, just listen when they sing Where do we come from Where do we go It's not physics or spirits or magic The most powerful force on earth Is the output of our hearts in action Where do we come from Where do we go
