"the song seems to be about the inability of the intellect or
|
reasoning mind to understand certain basic truths about life" -

How you gonna tell your story
|
Are you gonna tell it rue
|
Either with or without reason
|
Love has paid the price for you
|
How you gonna cure this feeling
|
How you gonna right this wrong
|
Either with or without reason
|
The weaker do protect the strong
|
Listen in your hour of pain
|
Either in or out of season
|
The hunters still pursue the game
|
Oh, there's somebody waiting
|
Oh, there's somebody near
|
Oh, there's somebody waiting
|
Oh, there's somebody here
|
Now lately I've begun to wonder
|
Just who is talking when you speak
|
Either with or without reason
|
The stronger still pursue the weak
|
The wisest of the fools can tell you
|
Anything you want to hear
|
Either with or without reason
|
These are truths you hold so dear
|
Oh, there's somebody waiting
|
Oh, there's somebody near
|
Oh, there's somebody waiting
|
Oh, there's somebody here
|
I dedicate this inner chamber
|
I dedicate this harvest toil
|
Either with or without reason
|
The language of the heart takes hold
|
Now don't you see that love offends us
|
When it rises up against this waste
|
either with or without reason
|
Evidence of sin and grace
|
Oh, there's somebody waiting
|
Oh, there's somebody near
|
Oh, there's somebody waiting
|
Oh, there's somebody here
|
