Andrew Jacob Jung Poet Rhyme

Philosophers Waltz

This is a song about nothin’ 
‘Cause I don’t have nothin’ to say 
And now’s not the time to not say it
That’s why I’m here singin’ today 

The new days lay so far behind us 
The past stretches out up ahead 
The ancient prophets have spoken
But we ain’t heard a word that they said

You can’t tell nobody nothin’
‘Cause that’s all that anyone knows
But you love to hear what you’re made of
That’s why you’re at all of my shows 

Believin’ and seein’ ain’t knowin’
Knowledge ain’t necessarily so’s
But I believe that I know that I love you
‘Cause that’s just the way the song goes

I wrote this song about nothin’
‘Cause nothin’ is somethin’ to most
And that’s why we’re singin’ and dancin’
This waltz with the Philosopher’s ghost
