lyrics

Do you ever wonder why
When you know your eyes are opened wide
What lies in wait, are we awake?
Mulling over all my doubts
I thought I had it figured out
But all these facts, seem like a trap
Searching for the truth I've lost my way
and it feels to me like I've been waiting
For so long to hear somebody say
I have all the answers for you now
my child

If we knew that we were out of luck
Would you stand your ground or just give up
You know that in the end we don't amount to much
Like a single grain of sand from an hourglass

Up in the heavens the light shines into our eyes
But we're not blind
It doesn't matter if we don't know the design
We're alive
Searching for the truth I'm on my way
It will be there waiting for me
Open armed and warm like summer's day
I have all the answers for you now

Can you hear me call
Are you there at all
My eyes slip into the back of my head
I'm touching a void that I can't comprehend
and I let go….
