Lyrics
vs.1
Wandering down the dusted path
Your own destination
marked out
no time, no grace to see, to listen, to feel.
vs.2
Abandoned child, desperate for claim
The distant hope she sees in you
soon fades away, as you walk on by
Chorus
Will we not see, and dispose of our clouded eyes?
Will we not hear, the hearts that cry out in the depths?
Can we not live in the fact that we were given breath
To live for a greater cause then living just for ourselves.
vs.3
You say there's no truth, You say there's no way
Your countless efforts for hope
All fail, your left unsatisfied.
