Vashti Bunyan - How Do I Know lyrics

How do I know that those mountains aren't cardboard? How do I know that the world is round? Why should I know? Just because you've told me There's molten rock underneath my ground How do I know there's a God in the sky Looking down and hearing me? Why should you say, I can't love any man Have his children and still be free? Go on voting, striking and fighting Go on searching, hiding and laughing I can't change you, I can't even try But let me live like I think I can Then when it's time for me to say goodbye I'll have lived just a part of man Go on voting, striking and fighting Go on searching, hiding and laughing I can't change you, I can't even try But let me live like I think I can Then when it's time for me to simply die I'll have lived just a part of man
