As I watch through the ages
|
And gaze upon this world
|
The troubled race of man
|
So impetuous and afraid
|
There's potential in this race
|
A man can spark hope
|
But in masse they do regress
|
A constant downward slope
|
|
How have they come so far
|
Yet have so far to go
|
It seems evolution stalled
|
On the nature of a man
|
From living in caves
|
To manned flights in space
|
And for all that is worth
|
Still the sad pathetic race
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Can't you see what's plain as day
|
It's always been there inside of you
|
One saving grace that's hard to face
|
Embracing the truth will change your fate
|
It's up to you and the path you choose
|
To be led to the slaughter or lead the way
|
The quest for light, a worthwhile fight
|
Will you have what it takes?
|
Come what may
|
|
[Bridge:]
|
If you'd just look
|
Look inside yourselves
|
You'll find the answers to your pain
|
The hardest road
|
The hardest road to enlightenment
|
Presents a constant test
|
Of your resolve
|
Time for you
|
Time for you is running out
|
The human race must evolve
|
Must evolve
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Can't you see what's plain as day
|
It's always been there inside of you
|
One saving grace that's hard to face
|
Embracing the truth will change your fate
|
It's up to you and the path you choose
|
To be led to the slaughter or lead the way
|
The quest for light, a worthwhile fight
|
Will you have what it takes?
|
Come what may
|
|
[back-vocals:]
|
As I watch through the ages
|
The troubled race of man
|
Seems evolution stalled
|
Still a sad pathetic race
|
Will you have what it takes?
|
Come what may
|
