[Intro: Alan Watts]
The mystery of life is not a problem to be solved
But a reality to be experienced
The mystery of life is not a problem to be solved
But a reality to be experienced
When you speak, it's silent
When you're silent, it speaks
And slowly, your thoughts
Will come to silence
And in that silence
You suddenly begin to see the world as it is
You don't see any past
You don't see any future
You'll see that we live in an eternal now
There's only the eternal now
Now

[Chorus]
And ever since the beginning
We've been fearing the ending
And keep on pretending
That we'll never run out of time
Are we missing the meaning?
Are we missing the feeling?
Alive but not living
Just like ships in the night (Ships in the night)
Ships in the night
