Five for Fighting - The Riddle (You & I)
Dean stands at his father's grave and remembers the time when he asked his dying father what the meaning of life is. John tells him when he listens to a great song, sees an eclipse of the moon, or looks into a beautiful person's eyes and falls in love, he won't need to ask that question ever again.
Then he tells Dean the riddle "There's a reason for the world, you, and I."
Years later, after John has passed away, Dean is picking his son up from school. He asks his son, Jamie, what he learned in his life because life isn't perfect like the fairy tales he's heard.
Jamie tells his dad, Dean, that he loves him for free. Dean realizes that the person you love is what gives you a reason to live and with that, you got all you need in life. And he loves Jamie for free in return.
OR
Dean visits his dying father and they share a talk, and now Dean wants to be a great dad just like his father was to him.
**This is just my interpretation of the song. You can see it any way you want it.
***Of course I'm such a B/D shipper, so it is implied that Brooke is the mother and she makes a cameo appearance at the end. =P
Lyrics:
There was a man back in '95
Whose heart ran out of summers
But before he died, I asked him
Wait, what's the sense in life
Come over me, Come over me
He said,
Son why you got to sing that tune
Catch a Dylan song or some eclipse of the moon
Let an angel swing and make you swoon
Then you will see... You will see
Then he said,
Here's a riddle for you
Find the Answer
There's a reason for the world
You and I...
Picked up my kid from school today
Did you learn anything cause in the world today
You can't live in a castle far away
Now talk to me, come talk to me
He said,
Dad I'm big but we're smaller than small
In the scheme of things, well we're nothing at all
Still every mother's child sings a lonely song
So play with me, come play with me
And Hey Dad
Here's a riddle for you
Find the Answer
There's a reason for the world
You and I...
I said,
Son for all I've told you
When you get right down to the
Reason for the world...
Who am I?
There are secrets that we still have left to find
There have been mysteries from the beginning of time
There are answers we're not wise enough to see
He said... You looking for a clue I Love You free...
The batter swings and the summer flies
As I look into my angel's eyes
A song plays on while the moon is hiding over me
Something comes over me
I guess we're big and I guess we're small
If you think about it man you know we got it all
Cause we're all we got on this bouncing ball
And I love you free
I love you freely
Here's a riddle for you
Find the Answer
There's a reason for the world
You and I...
