Einstein's theories were accepted before experiments were done And when they finally did 'em, they only performed one He asked us to believe that time could be sped up or slowed Depending on how fast you travelled from another person's abode
He thought it was the only way to take into account That the speed of light was a constant and absolute amount The other day it hit me that time cannot be dilated And I know you're waiting for my theory with your breath bated
I don't know if it's my theory or if it's been said already But there's another way to explain that light's speed is always steady In relation to any body moving at any velocity This theory is very simple, I'm sure that you'll agree
A torch sitting on a barge will travel at the same pace As the barge itself, it's an open and shut case But the light from the torch only comes into being Once it leaves the torch, are you seeing what I'm seeing
It never exists on the barge, with the torch switched on or off It could never gain momentum, relative or not The light cannot 'sit' on the barge taking in the view And time passing is constant for all, this much I know is true
