Not Because

 

Not Because in dreams or theory

Or strange episode

Animated in some divine game

Does the silver sun turn golden

Right before our eyes beholdin’

Not because in some designer’s name

 

Not because it’s written in some

Jive genetic code

That can be explicitly explained

Do the lips of star-crossed lovers

Part and press into each other’s

Not Because there’s clouds does come the rain

 

Not Because life’s like a bucket of flowing water,

A box  of wind or a painting on the panes

 

Not because on bended knee will

Supplicants fast fall

To what they think over them does reign

Does it mean that answered prayer

Comes from some one way upstairs

Not Because things change is why things change

 

(repeat chorus)
