Is There A Difference?

Howard Jones

Is there a difference between yes and no 
Is there a difference between up and down 
Must I fear what others fear 
What nonsense 

Some people are content 
Enjoying things that belong to tradition 
With the seasons they cast their lot 
Without a question 

Other men are clear and bright and solid 
Other men are sharp and clever and jolly 
And we go wo oh oh wo oh oh oh wo 

Is there a difference between high and low 
Is there a difference between then and now 
Do we have to live in pain and fear 
What nonsense 

People are drifting like the waves on the sea 
Without direction like the restless wind 
Not knowing forward not knowing back 
Just existing 

Other men are strong and full of courage 
Other men are witty and full of knowledge 
And we go wo oh oh wo oh oh wo 

Other men are clear and bright and solid 
I alone am drifting on the sea 
Other men are sharp and clever and jolly 
Restless like the wind 
And we go wo oh oh wo oh oh wo 

Is there a difference 
Is there really a difference 
Yes and no 
Is there a difference 
Up and down 
Is there a difference 
High and low 
Is there a difference 
Then and now 
Is there a difference 
Yes and no 
Is there a difference 
Up and down 
Is there a difference
