Never Both - Anja Garbarek

Some agree, some don’t

Others try to argue

That there’s always hope

That new kinds of laws

Come into play

When the pile of debris

Starts to decay

The answer is not hard to come by

It’s either small and light

Or huge and heavy

But never both

Though it’s been pretty close

So when combined

We shake and roll

We gush with steam

But then we fall

Into the depths of a black hole

Trying to make sense

To get some idea

Without getting lost

In the size of the fear

And the question born

That you carefully measure

For years and years

It’s groomed and treasured

Then stitched into

A seamless whole

A single theory

That describes it all

The answer is not hard to come by

It’s either small and light

Or huge and heavy

But never both

Though it’s been pretty close

So when combined

We shake and roll

We gush with steam

But then we fall

Into the depths of a black hole

Where we are crushed

Where we’re made real small
