There Will Be Noise

You know the old question
 "If a tree crashes in a forest
 And there is nobody around to hear it
 Is there a noise?"
 This question has been discussed in many futile ways
 But noise, basically is a state of affairs
 That requires an eardrum and an audio nervous system
 Behind the eardrum
 When the tree falls, if there is anywhere around an ear
 With the appropriate nervous system
 There will be a noise
 Because noise is a relationship
 Between motion in the air and ears
 If there is not any ear around
 There won't be any noise although
 There will be vibration in the air
 And if there is some instrument around
 Such as a microphone attached to a tape recorder
 There will be noise
 There will be a vibration
 There will be light
 In the darkness
 In the same way
 Let's suppose the sun sends out light into space
 Now, the space surrounding the sun
 Will be black darkness
 As if there were no light in it
 Unless a planet happens to float by
 When a planet floats by, there will be light
 In the darkness
 But if there isn't anything to relate to the sun
 In that way
 Then comes no light
 Now this goes right down
 To the root and ground of everything
 It goes down to the essence of your nerves
 Of your whole being
 That it's all an interdependence
 There will be noise
 There will be a vibration
 There will be light
 In the darkness
 There will be noise
 There will be a vibration
 There will be light
 In the darkness
 And that's why one of the basic symbols of the universe
 Is the Chinese yin-yang symbol
 Which, you know, is a circle with an S-curve in the center
 One side of the S is black, the other is white
 So it makes, as it were, two commas, or two fishes
 And the eye of the fish is the opposite color
 The white fish has a black eye
 The black fish has a white eye
 Curling in on each other
 Now, this thing is called a helix
 And that is the fundamental form of the galaxies
 The great nebulae we see out in space
 And this is, basically, too
 The position of sexual intercourse
 This is lovemaking
 And this is, you know
 When you hold hands, and so on
 This is it
 This is it
 There will be noise
 There will be a vibration
 There will be light
 In the darkness
 There will be noise
 There will be a vibration
 There will be light
 In the darkness
 But there are two involved
 And the two are secretly one
