Song Lyrics:
When?
If you find the answers, please tell me when
Do we ever cure the cancers, tell me when
We fear to offend and negotiate, the meaning of wrong and right
And a mist of our own making becomes a fog, darker than the blackest night
It's a plan for extinction when a culture's undefined and everything's homogenized
It's a false protection against all ills -- ambiguity paralyzed
If denial is a river, we are drowning in it then, tell me when
If you find the answers, please tell me when
The dust of fallen freedom's blowing dry against the wind
It seems we're always going down this road again, tell me when
A wise man told us so very long ago, "there are some things worth dyin' for"
But when we're given them away, it must be asked "are they really worth
having anymore?"
Peaceful coexistence under threat and fear is really no existence at all
And a nation divided, so history tells, foreshadows its society's fall
I stand a ready soldier with the sword or with the pen, tell me when
If you find the answers, please tell me when
Is it really civilized to second-guess the truth
And pretend to understand the rising storm?
On the far horizon, broken Eden calls
To a blank generational norm.
Is the answer in the forest, past the glade beyond the glen, tell me when . . .
Do we have to take this journey while beast is in his den, tell me when
Can you give me any answers I would like to say "amen" tell me when
If the solution's in the system do I need to count to 10, tell me when
