How Can It Be (From the Musical "Mozart!") 作词 : Michael Kunze 作曲 : Sylvester Levay I've read Francis Bacon and studied the bible And learned and enlightened and knowing The triumph of logic and science is vital For keeping man's mastery growing I know without a doubt That reason can find out how things are going I trust in education And yet I am at my wit's end What defies all explanation I refuse to understand Dear lord how can it be It's baffling me You gave us science and good sense To save us all from hell How can it be that all the rules Of a reason and society Are undone by music's magic spell A child can be trained to do things that are awesome The key is a good education The gift is a seed If you want it to blossom It certainly needs cultivation Although it's clear to me Seeing the mystery I can't play possum Every work needs some correction There are flaws in everyone Here is absolute perfection And I don't know how it's done Dear lord how can it be It's baffling me You gave us science and good sense To save us all from hell How can it be that all the rules Of a reason and society Can be undone by music's magic spell How can it be That all the rules of a reason and society Can be undone By such an arrogant impertinent disorderly discourteous anomaly, Tenacious MISCHIEF-MAKER And by music's magic spell
