A Wave of Reason - Melodysheep

Science is more than a body of knowledge

It's a way of thinking

A way of skeptically interrogating the universe

If we are not able to ask skeptical questions

To be skeptical of those in authority

Then we're up for grabs

In all of science we're looking for a balance

Between data and theory

You don't have to delude yourself

With Iron Age fairy tales

The same spiritual fulfillment

That people find in religion

Can be found in science

By coming to know if you will the mind of God

The real world as it actually is

Is not evil it's remarkable

And the way to understand the physical world

Is to use science

There is a new wave of reason

Sweeping across America Britain Europe Australia

South America the Middle East and Africa

There is a new wave of reason

Where superstition had a firm hold

Teach a man to reason

And he'll think for a lifetime

Think for a lifetime

Cosmology brings us face to face with the deepest mysteries

With questions that were once treated only

In religion and myth

The desire to be connected with the cosmos

Reflects a profound reality

But we are connected not in the trivial ways

That Astrology promises but in the deepest ways

I can't believe the special stories that have been made up

About our relationship to the universe at large

Look at what's out there it isn't in proportion

Science is more than a body of knowledge

It's a way of thinking

A way of skeptically interrogating the universe

There is a new wave of reason

Sweeping across America Britain Europe Australia

South America the Middle East and Africa

There is a new wave of reason

Where superstition had a firm hold

Teach a man to reason

And he'll think for a lifetime

Think for a lifetime

Never let yourself be diverted

By what you wish to believe

But look only and solely

At what are the facts

Enjoy the fantasy the fun the stories

But make sure that there's a clear sharp line

Drawn on the floor

To do otherwise is to embrace madness

There is a new wave of reason

Sweeping across America Britain Europe Australia

South America the Middle East and Africa

There is a new wave of reason

Where superstition had a firm hold

Teach a man to reason

And he'll think for a lifetime

Think for a lifetime
