Cogito Ergo Sum

Christopher Commodore

Cogito Ergo Sum
By Chris Commodore © 2004

Cogito ergo sum
Wise words from Rene’s plume
Let’s raise a canticle to him
Cogito ergo sum

Cogito ergo sum
A cramped up little room
Or open plains where Nature blooms
Cogito ergo sum

Cogito ergo sum
Thoughts wild out into space
The ocean depths, oh any place
Cogito ergo sum

Cogito ergo sum
Conception to the tomb
It matters not what about whom
Cogito ergo sum
