There was a man back in '95
whose heart ran out of summers
but before he died, I asked him
Wait, what's the sense in life?
Come over me, Come over me?

He said, "Son why you got to sing that tune?
Catch a Dylan song or some eclipse of the moon?
Let an angel swing and make you swoon
Then you will see, you will see"

Then he said, "Here's a riddle for you
Find the answer: There's a reason for the world
you and I"

Bruce approached his father calmly; he had a question that needed to be answered.

"Dad, what's the point of life lessons?" Bruce asked.

"Well Bruce they're there to help you move forward in life." Bruce's dad answered.

"Why does learning them have to be painful sometimes?" Bruce asked.

"They have to hurt to make you see the good in life, that's why bad things happen." He answered, "There's a riddle a wise man told me once."

"Oh yeah what's that?" Bruce asked.

"Find the answer: there's a reason for the world." Bruce's dad said with a laugh as he walked away.

"That doesn't make any sense." Bruce mumbled.

Picked up my kid from school today
Did you learn anything? Cause in the world today
You can't live in a castle far away
Now talk to me, come talk to me

He said, "Dad I'm big, but we're smaller than small
In the scheme of things, well we're nothing at all
Still every mother's child sings a lonely song
So play with me, come play with me"

And hey Dad, here's a riddle for you
Find the answer: There's a reason for the world
You and I?

Bruce had remembered the riddle his dad once told him and every now and again he tried to find the answer but it was just too hard, he eventually forgot all about it until one day many years later when he went to pick Dick up from school.

"Dad, can you help me find the answer to this riddle, my dad told me it once and for some reason I've been trying to figure it out today." The 13-year-old asked.

"Sure, what's the riddle?" Bruce asked.

"Ok, find the answer, there's a reason for the world." Dick said.

I said, "Son for all I've told you
When you get right down to the
Reason for the world who am I?"

There are secrets that we still have left to find
There have been mysteries from the beginning of time
There are answers we're not wise enough to see
He said, You looking for a clue I love you free

The batter swings and the summer flies
As I look into my angel's eyes
A song plays on while the moon is hiding over me
Something comes over me

I guess we're big and I guess we're small
If you think about it man you know we got it all
'Cause we're all we got on this bouncing ball
And I love you free, I love you freely

"Well Dick, my father used to tell me that same riddle, and to this day I have yet to find the answer, when I do try to figure it out I always question if there really is an answer." Bruce responded.

"Maybe there isn't an answer or maybe it's so obvious, no ones ever thought of it." Dick said.

"Maybe." Bruce answered, "I guess you and I will never know."

Here's a riddle for you
Find the answer: There's a reason for the world
you and I

Bruce lay awake that night trying to figure out that question that had him stumped for so many years. That's when it came to him, he remembered what he had told Dick earlier and it became clear.

"You and I." He said absent mindedly, "That's what dad ment."

Ok guys, sorry for the delay, I just haven't had an awesome idea in days; I nearly ended this story but realized all the ideas I had so I didn't. Anyway that song in called 'the riddle' it's by five for fighting, I hope you liked it. Thanks for reading!
