Lyrics

Where do we come from?
Hey you're born in a flash of light! A world of darkness turned bright
I slap to the rear and a cry is heard. A child is born and that's the word!
Where do we come from, and where do we go
What is the answer, I do not know?
We're here for, a very short time!
It could be a poem, but it never rhymes
whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa.
whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa.


Turn around and time turns fast! Childhood it never lasts.
Grow up, your sent to school. Some to lawyers, others fools
Where do we come from, and where do we go
What is the answer, I do not know?
We're here for, a very short time!
It could be a poem, but it never rhymes
whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa.
whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa.


Every night, I watch the news! Sometimes we win, others lose
The world is changing, bought and sold. Nothing as we're told!
Where do we come from, and where do we go
What is the answer, I do not know?
We're here for, a very short time!
It could be a poem, but it never rhymes
whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa.
whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa.

We grow old, our bodies frail. Somewhere, something fails!
They come and put us in the ground, our whole existence bought by the pound.
Where do we come from, and where do we go
What is the answer, I do not know?
Ashes to Ashes, dust to dust!
What ever happens I know it must..
whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa.
whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa.
