A Puzzlement - Elaine Paige[00:00:00]

When I was a boy[00:00:04]

World was better spot[00:00:06]

What was so was so[00:00:08]

What was not was not[00:00:10]

Now I am a man[00:00:12]

World have changed a lot[00:00:14]

Some things nearly so[00:00:16]

Others nearly not[00:00:18]

There are times I almost think[00:00:22]

I am not sure of what I absolutely know[00:00:25]

Very often find confusion[00:00:30]

In conclusion I concluded long ago[00:00:32]

In my head are many facts t[00:00:37]

Hat as a student I have studied to procure[00:00:39]

In my head are many facts[00:00:44]

Of which I wish I was more certain I was sure[00:00:46]

Is a puzzlement[00:00:54]

What to tell growing son [00:00:56]

What for instance shall I say to him of women [00:00:59]

Shall I educate him on the ancient lines [00:01:03]

Shall I tell the boy as far as he is able[00:01:07]

To respect his wives and love his concubines [00:01:11]

Shall I tell him everyone is like the other[00:01:16]

And the better of the two is really neither [00:01:20]

If I tell him this I think he won't believe it[00:01:24]

And I nearly think I don't but believe either[00:01:29]

When my father was a king[00:01:35]

He was a king who knew exactly what he knew[00:01:36]

And his brain was not a thing[00:01:41]

Forever swinging to and fro and fro and to[00:01:43]

Shall I then be like my father[00:01:48]

And be willfully unmovable and strong [00:01:49]

Or is it better to be right [00:01:54]

Or am I right when I believe I may be wrong [00:01:56]

Shall I join with other nations in alliance [00:02:05]

If allies are weak am I not best alone [00:02:09]

If allies are strong with power to protect me[00:02:13]

Might they not protect me out of all I own [00:02:17]

Is a danger to be trusting one another[00:02:21]

One will seldom want to do what other wishes[00:02:26]

But unless someday somebody trust somebody[00:02:30]

There'll be nothing left on earth excepting fishes[00:02:34]

There are times I almost think[00:02:40]

Nobody sure of what he absolutely know[00:02:42]

Everybody find confusion[00:02:47]

In conclusion he concluded long ago[00:02:48]

And it puzzle me to learn[00:02:53]

That tho' a man may be in doubt of what he know[00:02:55]

Very quickly he will fight[00:03:00]

He'll fight to prove that what he does not know is so[00:03:01]

Oh sometimes I think that people going mad[00:03:10]

Ah sometimes I think that people not so bad[00:03:16]

But not matter what I think I must go on living life[00:03:22]

As leader of my kingdom I must go forth[00:03:26]

Be father to my children and husband to each wife[00:03:29]

Etcetera etcetera and so forth[00:03:32]

If my Lord in Heaven Buddha show the way[00:03:36]

Everyday I try to live another day[00:03:40]

If my Lord in Heaven Buddha show the way[00:03:44]

Everyday I do my best for one more day[00:03:47]

But is a puzzlement[00:03:54]
