Proposed the Sphinx
What creature walks on four legs in the
Morning, two legs at noon and three in the evening?
Oedipus solved the riddle with this answer:
"Man walked on his hands and feet when young. At noon, in middle life,
He walked erect on two feet and in the afternoon
Of life he walked with the aid of a walking stick."
For the first time:
When I wake up in the morning for the
First time, there's nothing on my mind;
As the days go by I begin to realize
Something is happening to me
I don't know who you are but you've been real good to me
You keep me warm, you protect me from all harm
When I wake up in the morning,
Over and over again, things have begun to stick to my mind;
As the days have gone by,
I begin to realize all the good things that have happened to me;
I'm gonna call you mother- oh as a father you've been real good to me;
You kept me warm, you protected me from all harm;
Mother and Father you'll be!
For the first time... la la la...
For the first time I see the world as it is;
And it's so beautiful- Mother and Father, please tell me...
What am I afraid, what is there to fear?
The world is but young and new to me
