| When will we see him, where will we find him? | |
| How will we know he’s the one? | |
| Who will he talk to, what will he tell them? | |
| Why won’t he hurry and come? | |
| He’s got the answers, he knows the reasons | |
| He’ll tell us just what to do | |
| So what is your question, what will you ask him? | |
| What do you want from the truth? | |
| Where did we come from, where are we going? | |
| What are we doing here? | |
| Why ain’t I pretty, how come I’m stupid? | |
| Why do I have this here fear? | |
| Is there a way out, how can I get out? | |
| There must be some way out of here. | |
| Didi and Gogo and Little Pablo, everybody’s looking for the truth | |
| But he can’t come today, maybe he’ll come tomorrow. | |
| Where does he come from, how will he get here, is he from some other place? | |
| Who are his people, what is his background, does anyone knows his race? | |
| What’s his schooling, where did he study, what does he do with his life? | |
| What’s his profession, his occupation, I wonder if he has a wife. | |
| We need a leader, we need a master | |
| We can’t do it all on our own | |
| We need a guru, we need a boo hoo | |
| We’re afraid of being alone | |
| He’s got the answers, he knows the reasons | |
| He’ll tell us just what to do. | |
| He can’t come today, maybe he’ll come tomorrow. |
