Oh, Please

Verse 1
You see a house, you know there’s a hand
That measured the beams, that drew up the plan
You see a cake, you know there’s a mind
That mixed the sweet with the heat and the time
Pre-Chorus
But look at the stars, the breath in your lungs
The dance of the atoms, the pull of the sun
And you say it just happened, no reason, no rhyme
Just chaos pretending to fall into line
Chorus
Oh please, don’t sell me that song
That nothing made everything and nothing went wrong
That order and beauty just stumbled along
Like a symphony born from a bang and a yawn
Oh please — I’ve seen too much light
To believe it all came from the absence of sight
If a house needs a builder, then what of the dawn?
You don’t get a cosmos from nothing at all
Verse 2
You say it’s all chance, a cosmic mistake
But chance never baked a layered cake
It never carved rivers or painted the skies
Or taught a child to ask “why?”
Bridge
I’m not asking for thunder, or voices on high
Just don’t call it logic to close both your eyes
If design is a myth, then so is the mind
But here we are — aware, alive
Final Chorus
Oh please, don’t call that sense
To trade wonder for numbers and call it defense
To see all this glory and shrug it away
As if love and the laws just decided to stay
Oh please — I’ll stand in the awe
Of a universe humming with purpose and law
If a cake needs a baker, then what of the song
That sings in the silence and carries us on?
