An Evolution of Thought

Thesis, opening the floor for antithesis
Spawning common grounds for synthesis
Is how thought evolves
Altering long held truths
Offering plausible proof
That every thought lies on shaky ground

This world was flat once;
Orbital sun —
Mob perspective
With condemnation
For those who'd deviate from
Age held truths

What weight should deserve
All present belief
If future theorems
Stand to dethrone the now?

Ebb and then flow
In time may we learn we never knew one thing
Ebb and then flow
In time may we learn we grow staying open
Ebb and then flow
In time may we learn from those we would estrange
Ebb and then flow
In time may we learn the laws of change

Thesis, opening the floor for antithesis
Inviting synthesis
Ushering in a new era of understanding
Ripe for an opposing thesis
Opening the floor for antithesis
Inviting synthesis
Ushering in a new era of understanding —
Ebb and then flow

So, what weight should deserve
All present belief
If future theorems
Stand to dethrone?

Is there such thing as wisdom?
Are there any truths?
Could we bring ourselves
To accept there aren't?
And then if there was no wisdom
Could we free ourselves
From forged inequality
Of mind?

Thesis, opening the floor for antithesis
Spawning common grounds for synthesis
Ushering in a new era of understanding
Shaping unique theories for opposing thesis
Opening the floor for antithesis
Spawning common grounds for synthesis
Ushering in a new era of understanding
Shaping unique theories for opposing thesis...

Let's believe nothing;
All is possible
So dismiss nothing;
Entertain every theory

This world was flat once
Orbital sun
With condemnation
For deviant ones
