“Who knows why some satellites come by and by while others disappear into the sky.”
Ben Folds (1966) American musician
"Michael Praytor", The Sound of the Life of the Mind (2012).
Song lyrics, With Ben Folds Five
“Who are you and who am I
To say we know the reason why
Some are born, some men die,
Beneath one infinite sky?”
"Childhood's End", on Obscured by Clouds (1972)
Context: Who are you and who am I
To say we know the reason why
Some are born, some men die,
Beneath one infinite sky?
There'll be war, there'll be peace,
But everything one day will cease,
All the iron turned to rust,
All the proud men turned to dust,
And so all things time will mend,
So this song will end.
