Mother, Father Lyrics
Mother, father please explain to me
Why a world so full of mystery A place so bitter and still so sweet So beautiful and yet so full of sad, sad... Mother, father please explain to me Why forests march to desert speed While snowcapped mountains melt away What do we tell our babies, when do we say, oh Mother, father please explain to me How a man who rocks his child to sleep Pulls the trigger on his brother's heart He digs a hole right to the middle of this storm of hatred Mother, father please explain to me How it could be so this world has come to be A precious balance in between Such cruelty and such kindness please Mother, father please explain to me How this world has come to be Unequaled in her blessings, oh, I see Unbridled hatred so extreme, please tell me Mother, father please explain to me How this world has come to be so Twisted between time and dreams Oh, mother, father please explain to me Oh, what's all this talk about? All this talk about it Spinning down, down, down, down, down All this talk about Endless words without Nothing's done Mother, father do you know Why one man's belly overflows Another sleeps in hunger's bed Oh, we trade our world for a piece of bread Oh Mother, father please explain to me How this rare world's come to be A place so full of color yet overflowing Always in black and white Drowning in the waters of our... Mother, father please explain to me How this world has come to be While still blessed in all the things we see Such a sad, sad home for you and me Come out, and hold, Come on out you Come on out you Come and save yourself Come on out you Come on we're taking the water We're taken the water We're taken the water But you know We got the freedom We got the freedom There's no God above And no hell below Oh, it's here with us It's up to us To keep afloat How this sweet world has come to be Oh to keep afloat Mother, father please explain to me How this rare world has come to be Oh, let the blue planet Let the blue planet Mother, father please explain to me Mother, father please explain |

they say in essence....
God doesnt care (he doesnt love completely)
God isnt in control (he isnt sovereign over his creation)
(this is THE knowledge of evil)
BUT...dave understands that this world is supposed to be screwed up so that God can fix everything later in HIS own timing....
its just that dave is listening to the confusion from people who are "supposed to know this" is the confusing part.
he's displaying a person being educated in the process of learning the "difference" between the "people of the knowledge of good" and the "people of the knowledge of evil".
so that the people who he's singing about in this song are supposed to be representing confusing people.(they represent the knowledge of evil people)
this is about Gods sovereignty and who God tells what is happening with his creation..
sounds like he is not telling those whos sitting in the religious pews about the knowledge of good... dont it...

"Why one man's belly overflows
Another sleeps in hunger's bed"
