Shelley is impatient for the answer and unsteady without one. Her quest for knowledge has led her to religion and science alike. Faith fills the gaps, but she now rests assured that that's all faith can do. Written for the 12/13/04 Songfight! challenge, and my first win!

words - what do they know?

words - where do they go?

it seems like almost

two minutes ago

i had a kazoo in my pocket

i took no pictures

it's not documented

but here i am talking about it

there's lots you don't know

more than they'll ever show

so cheer up shelley

though we'll never get there

we'll keep trying ever after

there may be no answer

even that's not failing

to rise above all of their laughter

 

so cheer up shelley

though we'll never get there

we'll keep trying ever after
