MOVING ON
THE LAST TIME
WHEN IS THE LAST TIMEYOU
PLAYED A GAME
WALKED IN THE RAIN
USED YOUR BRAIN
TRIED TO EXPLAIN
HAD SOME FUN
SAT IN THE SUN
USED A PUN
WENT FOR A RUN
DO YOU HAVE ANY CLUE
KEEP SEEKING THE TRUTH
IT SEEMS TO ME
THERE SEEMS TO BE
MORE QUESTIONS THAN ANSWERS
DO WE ASK THE RIGHT QUESTIONS
AND GET THE WRONG ANSWERS
OR DO WE ASK THE WRONG QUESTIONS
AND GET THE RIGHT ANSWERS
HOW DO WE KNOW WHICH IS WHICH
OR DO WE JUST BAIT AND SWITCH
QUESTIONS WORTH ASKING
SHOULD BE WORTH ANSWERING
KEEP QUESTIONING
KEEP ANSWERING
KEEP SEEKING THE TRUTH
CENSORSHIP
IF YOU KNEW THE TRUTH BEHIND THE LIES
WOULD YOU OPEN OTHER PEOPLE'S EYES
SPREAD THE WORD TO HELP THEM REALIZE
OR JUST SOMEHOW FEEL PARALYZED
TO UNCOVER ALL OF THEIR DISGUISE
CENSORSHIP LEADS TO OUR OWN DEMISE
HOPE
MESSENGERS OF HOPE
HELP US ALL TO COPE
LENDING US SOME ROPE
AND MAYBE SOME SOAP
THERE'S NO NEED TO MOPE
IF YOU'RE NOT A DOPE
WORDS
DO YOUR WORDS RELEASE YOUR PAIN
DO THEY EXERCISE YOUR BRAIN
ARE THEY MERELY A REFRAIN
WHAT DO OTHERS HAVE TO GAIN
THERE'S NO REASON TO EXPLAIN
COMPLICATIONS MAY BE PLAIN
MAYBE THEY JUST KEEP YOU SANE
MAYBE THEY JUST ENTERTAIN
NEVER SEEM TO BE MUNDANE
CHANNELING ANOTHER PLANE
IF
IF WE THINK
THOUGHTS ARE THINGS
MAYBE WE
SHOULD SHARE THEM
IF WE BLINK
OR WE WINK
MAYBE WE
CAN BEAR THEM
IF WE DARE
TO GO THERE
MAYBE WE
CAN SPARE THEM
IF WE WRITE
THEY JUST MIGHT
GAIN INSIGHT
AND CARE THEN
YOUR POINT OF VIEW
IS LOVE A WEAKNESS OR A STRENGTH
YOU MAY PONDER AT GREAT LENGTH
FOR THE ANSWER IS NOT STRAIGHT
AND ENTANGLED IN ONE'S FATE
IT HAS MANY PROS AND CONS
I GUESS IT DEPENDS UPON
IF IT'S WORTH THE COST TO YOU
AND OFCOURSE YOUR POINT OF VIEW
