No Answer

[Intro]

I asked the mountain
I asked the river

I asked the night
To tell me why

Nothing answered

[Verse 1]

I carried questions like stones
Inside my pockets every day

I thought if I could name them all
The fear would finally go away

I asked the people for their wisdom
I asked the stars above my head

I searched for something I could hold
Something certain
Something said

[Refrain]

No answer
No answer

Maybe the silence
Is the answer

No answer
No answer

Maybe I don't need to know

[Verse 2]

I wanted truth without a shadow
I wanted light without the night

I wanted roads without a turning
I wanted wrong to become right

But every door I tried to open
Led me somewhere I had been

And every question kept returning
Like a voice beneath my skin

[Panther]

What are you looking for?

[Male]

An answer

[Panther]

Why?

[Male]

So I can stop searching

[Panther]

Then stop

[Instrumental Passage]

[Bridge]

Let the river take the question

Let the wind erase the name

Let the things I cannot understand
Remain exactly as they came

I don't need to hold the future

I don't need to own the past

Maybe freedom isn't knowing

Maybe freedom is to ask

[Final Refrain]

No answer
No answer

And I can finally breathe

No answer
No answer

And nothing is missing

[Outro]

I closed my eyes

The world was still there

I listened

And for the first time

I heard myself
