Kathleen Edwards The Logical Song Lyrics

[Verse]
When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful
A miracle, it was beautiful, magical
And all the birds in the trees, well, they'd be singing so happily
Joyfully, oh, playfully watching me

And then they sent me away, show me how to be sensible
Logical, oh, responsible, practical
And then they showed me a world where I could be so dependable
Clinical, intellectual, cynical

[Chorus]
But there are times when all the world's asleep
These questions run so deep for such a simple man
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned?
I know it sounds absurd - please tell me who I am

[Verse] Watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical
A liberal, fanatical, criminal
And won't you sign up your name? We'd like to feel you're acceptable
Respectable, presentable, a vegetable

[Chorus]
But there are times when all the world's asleep
The questions run so deep for such a simple man
Won't you please please tell me what we've learned?
I know it sounds absurd - please tell me who I am

[Chorus]
There are times when all the world's asleep
These questions run so deep for such a simple man
Won't you please please tell me what we've learned?
I know it sounds absurd - please tell me who I am
