"Howl" Lyrics

If you weren't told about any divinity
If someone showed you our fallibilities
If you weren't told about the trinity
Would you still know what in the world created all this?

Wouldn't you like to figure out what's pulling the strings?

Did you know about varying degrees of free will?
Compatible with senseless building blocks
Did you know of adaptive or emergent properties?
How a lump of grey is making you talk?

Now wouldn't you like to figure out what's making you howl?

Ill equipped to deal with infinities
Never getting past the anthropic principles
Ill equipped to deal with probabilities
Can't help assigning intentions to all kinds of things

Wouldn't you like to figure out what's pulling your strings?

Now we could still talk about moral responsibility
We could still talk about our common human goals
What leads to happiness, what leads to suffering
What leads to exuberance and flourishing of the soul

But it would help to figure out what's making us howl
