座右の銘になっている歌の歌詞

1973年に公開された『失われた地平線』("The Lost Horizons")の中で歌われる歌です.同じく"Question me an answer"も好きな曲です.(歌詞は,本ポスト末に折りたたんであります.)

The world is a circle without a beginning,
And nobody knows where it really ends.
Everything depends on where you
Are in the cirle that never begins.
Nobody knows where the circle ends.

La la la,
La la la la la la.

And just because you think you're small,
That doesn't mean that you're small at all.
And just the way a tiny branch is like a tree to a twig,
To someone else you are big.

The world is a circle without a beginning,
And nobody knows where it really ends.
Woooa!
Everything depends on where you
Are in the cirle that's spinning around.
Half of the time we are upside down.

La la, etc.

And just because they say you're weak,
That doesn't mean you've a weak physique.
And even if they're partly right,

At least they're partially wrong.

To someone else you are strong.

And just because they say you're slow,
That doesn't mean that you're slow, you know.
And even if you're never first,
Compared to someone who's last,
They're sure to think you are fast.
The world is a circle without a beginning,
And nobody knows where it really ends.
Woooa!
Everything depends on where you
Are in the cirle that never begins.
Nobody knows where the circle ends.
La la, etc.
The world is a circle that never begins.
Nobody knows where the circle ends.

Question me an answer bright and clear.
I will answer with a question clear and bright.
Even though your answer may be wrong
my question will be right.
Question me an answer.
Answer with a question.
(Chorus) Fourteen hundred ninety two. (1492)
(Bobby) What's the year that Babe Ruth hit his sixtieth home run?
(Chorus) Wellington at Waterloo.
(Bobby) Who became the hero at the battle of Bull Run?
Learning can be lots of fun.
Question me an answer bright and clear.
I will answer with a question clear and bright.
Even though your answer may be wrong
my question will be right.
Question me an answer.
Answer with a question.
(Chorus) Midnight ride of Paul Revere.
(Bobby)  What's the way that Yankee Doodle really went to town?
(Chorus) Cleaning up the atmosphere.
(Bobby) What's the reason London Bridge is always falling down.
(All) You can learn things from a clown.
Question me an answer bright and clear.
I will answer with a question clear and bright.
Even though your answer may be wrong
my question will be right.
Question me an answer.
Answer with a question.
(Bobby) On the good ship Lollopop.
(Chorus) How did Christopher Columbus sail upon the sea?
(Bobby) Underneath the circus top.
(Chorus) Where did Cleopatra get to meet Mark Anthony?
(All) They say knowledge makes you free.
(Orchestra Interlude and Dance)
They say knowledge makes you free.
Question me an answer if you please.
I will answer with a question if I can.
(Bobby) Let me show you just how I
became an educated man.
Question me an answer.
Answer with a question.
(Orchestra and Dance)
If you wanna' know, if you wanna' hear, if you wanna' see,
question me an answer.
