Cover art for The Riddle lyrics by Five for Fighting

this song is amazing... pure and simple.

for those of you that asked what the riddle was, i believe it is one of two things.

the lyrics When you get right down to the Reason for the world... Who am I? can be interpreted into two questions, what is the reason for the world? or who am i?

this song really struck a chord with me because any listener could take and ask himself those questions every day and never come up with an answer. and throughout the song the old man, the child, and the middleaged man are all looking for answer to the same question, and none of them have it.
