An ageless question, universal
They're asking why
Creation destined cries flood the night in pain

They say if You are real then take it away
But man will only look to You lying on his face


Now we lie awake
With shut eyes
So to forever forget this


There cries, this agony, injustices, suffering
Symptoms of a larger disease

Inside of me and you and me
So try to close you eyes and make it fade away
But open and you'll see

This stain is you, this stain is me

Now so many wonder why it is

So much has gone awry in all of this
And being makes you sigh that you exist
But you can't escape this

Seemingly undeserved is your lot
But generations past and you forgot
We chose to eat our fill and fell to not

This pain is here reminding us to turn and leave
To come back home


Pointing to show us the way
