The Certainty Of Chance

A butterfly flies through the forest rain
And turns the wind into a hurricane
I know that it will happen
Cause I believe in the certainty of chance
The certainty of chance

A schoolboy yawns, sits back and hits return
While round the world computers crash and burn
I know that it will happen
Cause I believe in the certainty of chance
The certainty of chance
The certainty of chance

And I believe
I can see it all so clearly now

You must go and I must set you free
Cause only that will bring you back to me
I know that it will happen
I'm sure that it must happen
Oh, I know it's gonna happen
Because I believe in the certainty of chance

[Spoken]
Sometimes at night the darkness and silence weighs on me
Peace frightens me. Perhaps I fear it most of all
I feel it's only a facade, hiding the face of hell
I think of what's in store for my children tomorrow;
"The world will be wonderful," they say;
But from whose viewpoint?
We need to live in a state of suspended animation
Like a work of art; in a state of enchantment
Detached, detached
