If East is East

And West is West

Then where, my dear, is here?

It’s North of South

And South of North

And far from nowhere near

 

If Then was Now

Then tell me how

Tomorrow never comes?

And some time soon

Today has gone

And the future’s not begun

 

If I to You

Am you, not me

Then tell me who are we?

To them, they’re us

And we are they

To us, we’re me and thee

 

So Where and When

And who you are

Depends on where you stand

So take another

Point-of-view

And join me hand-in-hand

    “We are star-dust we are golden.”
