[Everyone of us, at one time or another, has surely wondered where we come from, where we are going and what is the sense of it all.] I know we've always been asking ourselves How do we hatch out of eggs or of shells? Me and the birds and the flowers and trees Out of the oceans it's hard to believe Where do we come from? Where will we go? This is the riddle we don?t know Riddles of descent and our mankind Answers come slowly to shatter our minds Where do we come from ? It isn't quite clear When did we first once appear? Might not be here If we continue the way that we choose We're not secure if we win or we lose The fire keeps burning inside of our heads Keeping us weighted like iron and lead Where do we come from? Where will we go? This is the riddle we don?t know Riddles of descent and our mankind Answers come slowly to shatter our minds Where do we come from? It isn't quite clear When did we first once appear? Might not be here So come on you people this is our chance Because we've had this success We hold the future in our hands To obtain this mighty progress Can we go on without a sorrow? For our life we beg, steal and borrow In a world that won't stop tommorrow, Filled with joy and restraint and horror Riddles of descent and our mankind Answers come slowly to shatter our minds Where do we come from? It isn't quite clear When did we first once appear? Might not be here Riddles of descent and our mankind Answers come slowly to shatter our minds Where do we come from? It isn't quite clear When did we first once appear? Might not be here
