[Intro chord: F#]

F#                                                        B

If you've ever questioned beliefs that you hold you're not alone

F#                                          B

But you oughta realize that every religion is a methaphor

Eb  C#             B            Eb         C#        B

In the case of Christianity    and Judaism there exists the belief

Eb        C#          B

That spiritual matters are enslaved to history

F#                                                B

The Buddhists believe that the functional aspects override the myth

F#                                                B

While other religions use the literal core to build foundations with

Eb              C#             B

See half the world sees the myth as fact

Eb        C#         B

And it's seen as a lie by the other half and

Eb            C#                 B

The simple truth is that it's none of that cause

Eb                            B

Somehow no matter what the world keeps turning

F#                           C#

Somehow we get by without ever learning

Eb                            B

Somehow no matter what the world keeps turning

F#                           C#

Somehow we get by without ever learning

Eb             F#               B          C#

Science and religion are not mutually exclusive

Eb                         F#

In fact for better understanding

B                C#

We take the facts of science and apply them

Eb                         F#                  B             C#

And as both factors keep evolving then we continue getting information

Eb                     F#                B               C#

But closing off possibilities makes it hard to see the bigger picture

F#                                                 B

Consider the case of the woman whose faith helped her make it through

F#

When she was raped and cut up, left for dead in a trunk,

B

But her beliefs held true

Eb            C#             B

It doesn't matter if it's real or not

Eb              C#              B

Cause some things are better left without a doubt and

Eb       C#           B

If it works and it gets the job done...

Eb                            B

Somehow no matter what the world keeps turning

F#                           C#

Somehow we get by without ever learning

Eb                            B

Somehow no matter what the world keeps turning
