And another

See the figure, see the ground,
Are you sure they're right way round?
White on black or black on white,
Are you sure you've got it right?

See the faces, black on white,
Look again and check your sight.
Patterns shift and then shift back;
The candlestick is white on black.
Neither one is truth or lie;
The mind holds meaning, not the eye.
CHORUS

Light illumines all we see,
Does its work invisibly.
Darkness is a thing unreal
That forces us to move by feel.
One we don't see, one we do,
Which one seems more real to you?
CHORUS

Split a planet round its girth,
One half water, one half earth,
Face the choice that you must make,
Sea-girt isle or land-locked lake?
Call it merely childish games
But what are things without their names?
CHORUS

When you make a nation's laws
What will be your holy cause?
Some say "People must be free!",
Others crave security.
Neither one is right or wrong;
Both in balance make us strong.
CHORUS
