Anyways, I was really inspired when I made this song because I completed it in only a few hours, meaning that the lyrics really meant something to me. It's basically about the realization that as humans it is literally impossible to know the answers to all the big questions in the world. It is about the realization that there are two choices one is able to make: (1) to settle for the fact that we can't know anything for certain but in turn live a life without convictions full of skepticism, or (2) to gamble on God (Pascal's Wager), believing that He can explain everything but in turn have a faith that's based on chance. Here is the song on my Soundcloud.
To the tune of "Sebelum Cahaya" by Letto
A world of mystery, oh how I've sought to understand
the answers to the great unknown
I turned to ancient texts, I turned to scientific thought
But neither could explain it all
Do I settle for the mystery? And live a life without convictions?
Just floating in the wind, not knowing where to go
Or do I settle for the wager? Have a faith that's based on chance?
And hope that God is there for me
If you are listening, God, please guide me in my quest
to live a life of righteousness
I wanna be a godly man, I wanna have a faith that stands
But deep down I'm not satisfied
A world of mystery, oh how I've sought to understand
the answers to the great unknown
I turned to ancient texts, I turned to scientific thought
But neither could explain it all
Do I settle for the mystery? And live a life without convictions?
Just floating in the wind, not knowing where to go
Or do I settle for the wager? Have a faith that's based on chance?
And hope that God is there for me
