Lyrics
THE DAY THAT WE DIE by Daniel Curzon and Dan Turner, copyright 1997
SOMEDAY THERE MUST COME THE MOMENT
WHEN WE ASK THE QUESTION
AND WE STARE AT THE SKY,
WE WONDER WHAT DAY IT WILL BE,
THE DAY THAT WE DIE.
SOME TIME WE BEGIN TO NOTICE,
AS THE YEARS RE-MAKE US,
AND WE SPECULATE WHY,
WE WORRY ABOUT WHERE WE'LL BE,
THE DAY THAT WE DIE.
WILL WE SIT AROUND DEPENDENT?
PARALYZED AND USELESS,
JUST TOO TRAMPLED TO TRY,
WITH THE FUTURE CONFUSED WITH THE PAST,
THE DAY THAT WE DIE?
WHAT DO WE KNOW?
WHERE DO WE GO?
WHAT LIES AHEAD?
BEST LEFT UNSAID?
WILL YOU BE YOU?
WILL I BE ME?
I GUESS WE'LL SEE.
DO WE HAVE TO WIND UP LONELY?
IF YOU KNOW, DON'T TELL ME.
I PREFER THAT YOU LIE.
ARE WE HUGGED BY SOME VISITING NURSE,
THE DAY THAT WE DIE?
ARE WE MEANT TO BE BEWILDERED?
MERELY DISAPPOINTED?
WERE WE AIMING TOO HIGH?
MUST WE TURN TO A FISTFUL OF DUST,
THE DAY THAT WE DIE?
SHOULD WE TRY TO FIGHT IT? OR SURRENDER?
SHOULD WE TRY TO LINGER?
SHOULD WE COWER AND CRY?
PERHAPS WE MUST LIVE WITH THE TRUTH,
THE DAY THAT WE DIE.
WHAT DO WE KNOW?
WHERE DO WE GO?
HOW DOES IT END?
COULD BE WE BLEND?
WILL I BE YOU?
WILL YOU BE ME?
. . . I GUESS WE'LL SEE.
