I've seen the evil so many hands have done |
|
I've seen the beauty of the earth and of the setting sun |
|
And on my knees I've begged for battles to be won |
|
But when we bleed no more, what do we become? |
|
And when at last we breathe our final precious breath |
|
I hope there's something more |
|
What are we hoping for? |
|
(What are we yearning for?) |
|
Without a guiding hand we wander endlessly |
|
Am I a fool to seek release from all that's killing me? |
|
When time has passed for once held cetainties |
|
A need remains: a refuge from your misery |
|
And when at last we breathe our final precious breath |
|
And when at last we're summoned unto death |
|
Is there an open door? |
|
Will there be any more? |
|
What will remain from all these dying things we're living for? |
|
I've seen the evil so many hands have done |
|
I've seen the beauty of the earth and of the setting sun |
|
And on my knees I've cried to you for battles to be won |
|
Will you be standing there when the dying is done? |
