Hello forum friends. Have been away far too long. Kids are back at school now, so hopefully I'll be able to catch up. This is a song that came to me in Summer of '23, I think while I was in Japan. Just got the melodic idea and the first line. It's kind of a philosophical agnostic bunch of questions (never had a song with only questions) to God, the universe, humankind or ?? Hope you enjoy it. Would love to hear what you think! Take care all! Greg

WHO??

Who owns the world?
Who lights the stars?
Who shins the sun?
On this world of ours?
Who made these animals become self-aware?
Who made us care?

Who deals the cards?
Writes rules for the game?
Who owns the glory?
Who takes the blame?
Who placed desire for the truth in our minds?
Truth we’ll never find?

Who made us the actors in this play without a script?
Who gave us the intellect for which we’re not equipped?
Who orchestrates this puppet show with strings we cannot see?
Is it you and me?

Who guides the fates?
The outcomes of wars?
Who tips the scales?
Who closes the doors?
Who placed the fire and the love in our hearts?
Then let’s us fall apart?

Who creates the contents of our nightmares and our dreams?
The pleasure and the suffering defining our extremes?
Who gave us the power for the danger we create?
Can we shut that gate?
