Question (The Moody Blues song) Originally, the song itself was also to have been named "A Question of Balance," but was shortened to "Question."

Drummer Graeme Edge wrote the verses, which were recited by keyboardist Mike Pinder. On Days of Future Passed, the poem's last five lines bracket the album and also appear at the end of track 1 ("The Day Begins").
