Why do we never get an answer
When we're knocking at the door
With a thousand million questions
About hate and death and war?
'Cause when we stop and look around us
There is nothing that we need
In a world of persecution that is burning in its greed
Why do we never get an answer
When we're knocking at the door
Because the truth is hard to swallow
That's what the war of love is for
It's not the way that you say it
When you do those things to me
It's more the way that you mean it
When you tell me what will be
And when you stop and think about it
You won't believe it's true
That all the love you've been giving
Has all been meant for you
I'm looking for someone to change my life
I'm looking for a miracle in my life
And if you could see what it's done to me
To lose the love I knew
Could safely lead me through
Between the silence of the mountains
And the crashing of the sea
There lies a land I once lived in
And she's waiting there for me
But in the grey of the morning
My mind becomes confused
Between the dead and the sleeping
And the road that I must choose
I'm looking for someone to change my life
I'm looking for a miracle in my life
And if you could see what it's done to me
To lose the love I knew
Could safely lead me to
The land that I once knew
To learn as we grow old
The secrets of our soul
It's not the way that you say it when you do those things to me
It's more the way you really mean it when you tell me what will be
Why do we never get an answer
When we're knocking at the door
How is it we are here on this path we walk
In this world of pointless fear filled with empty talk
Descend from the ape as scientist-priests all think
Will they save us in the end, we're trembling on the brink
Men's mighty mine-machines digging in the ground
Stealing rare minerals where they can be found
Concrete caves with iron doors bury it again
While a starving frightened world fills the sea with grain
Her love is like a fire burning inside
Her love is so much higher it can't be denied
She sends us her glory, it's always been there
Her love's all around us, it's there for you and me to share
Men's mighty mine-machines digging in the ground
Stealing rare minerals where they can be found
Concrete caves with iron doors bury it again
While a starving frightened world fills the sea with grain
How is it we are here
I've been thinking about our fortune,
And I've decided that we're really not to blame
For the love that's deep inside us now
Is still the same
And the sound we make together
Is the music to the story in your eyes
It's been shining down upon me now
I realize
Listen to the tide slowly turning
Wash all our heartaches away
We are part of the fire that is burning
And from the ashes we can build another day
But I'm frightened for your children
And the life that we are living is in vain
And the sunshine we've been waiting for
Will turn to rain
When the final line is over
And it's certain that the curtain's gonna fall
I can hide inside your sweet sweet love
For ever more
Since it began I got one dream and
really it's my only blessing
If I can come through then so can you
And you will find there's no regretting
Things you want from your life's font
Will never let your spirit roam
Come back to earth for what it's worth
For you've been dreaming of a ceiling not a home
I've been doing my best
What else can I do?
Is there something I've missed
That will help you through
I have reached the top of my wall
And all I've found is another way to fall
For some short time
For a while you and I were joined to eternity
Then we split in two
back to me and you
Like the rain
Rising from the sea
We all can see what we shall be
But knowing's really not controlling
With time perhaps I will pass the traps
After you'd come and while you're gone
You leave me guessing-It's depressing
Never to know the way to go to find some time along a little less pressing
So you just have to laugh
When it hurst so much
You're so far away and so hard to touch
I have reached the top of my wall
and all I've found is another way to fall
The curtain rises on a scene,
With someone chanting to be free.
The play unfolds before my eyes.
There stands the actor who is me.
The sleeping hours take us far,
From traffic, telephones and fear.
Put out your problems with the cat,
Escape until a bell you hear.
Our reasons are the same,
But there's no one we can blame,
For there's no where we need go,
And the only truth we know comes so easily.
The sound I have heard in your hello,
Oh darling, you're almost part of me.
Oh darling, you're all I'll ever see.
It's such a rainy afternoon,
No point in going anywhere.
The sounds just drift across my room,
I wish this feeling I could share.
It's such a rainy afternoon,
She sits and gazes from her window.
Her mind tries to recall his face,
A feeling deep inside her grows.
Our reasons are the same,
But there's no one we can blame,
For there's no where we need go,
And the only truth we know comes so easily.
The sound I have heard in your hello,
Oh darling, you're almost part of me.
Oh darling, you're all I'll ever see.
The sound I have heard in your hello,
Oh darling, you're all I'll ever see.
Oh darling, you're almost part of me.
