Wonder Is the Beginning of Wisdom

I've tried prayer and I've tried meditation Read the Bible and questioned God's creation I ate my body weight in mushrooms But I never found the truth I was seeking I've read Plato, Socrates, and Voltaire Searched for meaning in suffering and despair Every question led me to another But there's gotta be some truth in what they're speaking The nuns and priests and the Catholic guilt that I felt Only taught me that we're already in hell College offered me world religions But they only brought the same doubt I was facing 2C-I, DMT and psilocybin Offered insights, but Jesus seemed to hide them Asking "why" would label you a sinner It became clear this faith would need replacing Maybe that's the point We're not supposed to know What this life's all about And where do we go As long as we're asking why And questioning what we're told We're contributing to the growth of our souls We were given the gift Of brilliant, curious minds It would be such a shame to keep them confined So, we keep asking why And questioning what we're told And refuse to give any dogma control I tried looking to science for the meaning But the absence of spirit was misleading Once again I found only a half truth There's gotta be a little room made for the abstract I always try to remain hopeful I suggest you consider my proposal We are not meant to know the answers Questioning gives purpose to our life's path
