Natural Laws Or Santa Claus
Childhood faith that gave us hope
can give us cause for pause.
Now the thing that gives us hope
derives from natural laws. Or, is it Santa Claus?
Asylums that gave us peace
can give us cause for pause.
Now the thing that gives us peace
derives from natural laws. Or, is it Santa Claus?
Lullabies that gave us sleep
can give us cause for pause.
Now the thing that gives us sleep
derives from natural laws. Or, is it Santa Claus?
Mother care that gave us love
can give us cause for pause.
Now the thing that gives us love
derives from natural laws. Or, is it Santa Claus?
Fairytales that gave us pith
can give us cause for pause.
Now the thing that gives us pith
derives from natural laws. Or, is it Santa Claus?
