"there is grandure in this view of life" finally someone worked this beautiful quote into a song. GREAT JOB! Darwin would be proud :) I have been working on a song regarding evolution for a year now, and i just can't do it justice. I really appreciate what you have done here.
Now that the Shrewsbury Folk Fest (Live Streaming) is coming to a close, I'm sure you're get many more fans. As I am one now. What a great concept and a very good song....takes (a CAT..holic) one to know one to understand the song.
Oh I wish that I believed if only for you In a Sweet Ever After beyond the blue In an Eternal Father who after the fall Cast us all out of the garden But I've found an Eden I can believe in Leavened with nothing but time There is grandeur in this view of life Where one becomes many through struggle and strife But the mother of mysteries is another man's call Why is there something instead of nothing at all Why is there something instead of nothing at all If the devil's own chaplain is leading the prayer From a book that's been written with sorrow and care Then his hand is indifferent but it isn't unkind There's no evil design in his sermon For I hear a chorus of those gone before us Scored upon pages of stone There is grandeur in this view of life Where one becomes many through struggle and strife But the mother of mysteries is another man's call Why is there something instead of nothing at all Why is there something instead of nothing at all What an utter desert is a life without love Would that your blessings alone were enough To abandon my doubt in the veil of your tears Oh my dear how the fabric has fallen Now I’ve seen an Eden I can believe in Free from the master's design There is grandeur in this view of life Where one becomes many through struggle and strife But the mother of mysteries is another man's call Why is there something instead of nothing at all Why is there something instead of nothing at all Songwriters: Mark Erelli / Karine Polwart
I've been enjoying this album for several years now. I still love it when these songs come up in my playlist. This one, which seems to be a conversation between Darwin and Emma - expressing the heartfelt beauty of evolution, could be the "anthem" for athiests, if such a thing could exist. It's so beautiful and peaceful and reverent and states some key ideas. I can't thank you enough for this musical work. I also enjoy Dr. Stephen Baird and the Galapgos Mountain Boys songs. A different style but so fun for evolutionists and science fans. I'm going to share this song today for Darwin's birthday. It's the best.

Oh I wish that I believed if only for you
In a Sweet Ever After beyond the blue
In an Eternal Father who after the fall
Cast us all out of the garden
But I've found an Eden I can believe in
Leavened with nothing but time
There is grandeur in this view of life
Where one becomes many through struggle and strife
But the mother of mysteries is another man's call
Why is there something instead of nothing at all
Why is there something instead of nothing at all
If the devil's own chaplain is leading the prayer
From a book that's been written with sorrow and care
Then his hand is indifferent but it isn't unkind
There's no evil design in his sermon
For I hear a chorus of those gone before us
Scored upon pages of stone
There is grandeur in this view of life
Where one becomes many through struggle and strife
But the mother of mysteries is another man's call
Why is there something instead of nothing at all
Why is there something instead of nothing at all
What an utter desert is a life without love
Would that your blessings alone were enough
To abandon my doubt in the veil of your tears
Oh my dear how the fabric has fallen
Now I’ve seen an Eden I can believe in
Free from the master's design
There is grandeur in this view of life
Where one becomes many through struggle and strife
But the mother of mysteries is another man's call
Why is there something instead of nothing at all
Why is there something instead of nothing at all
