You're a Thinker

You're not what I'd expected at all
I thought you'd be laid back sort of breezy
Kicking life back, having a ball
Rolling through punches, taking it easy

It's clear you're made of a richer, deeper hue
Full of serious is what you've grown to be
Since I've come to know the depths of you
In your innocent eyes now I can see

CHORUS
You're a thinker I suppose
A child of philosophy, theology and prose
Like the one Auguste Rodin once had in mind
When he cast that great bronze of a man
Who sits pondering the fate of humankind

BRIDGE
Though as Juliet said of her rose Romeo
By any other name you'd smell as sweet
Like that, I love you so, sweet Romeo

When you reveal those brilliant reflections
You send my imagination on the run
Unleashing my strongest affections
Lighting my way as you rotate our sun

CHORUS
You're a thinker I suppose
A child of philosophy, theology and prose
Like the one Rodin had in mind
When he cast that great bronze of a man
Who sits pondering the fate of humankind

BRIDGE
Though as Paulsen writes of the wise Eskimo
We each should live our very own song
Like that, I love you so, sweet Eskimo
