As I watch through the ages

And gaze upon this world


The troubled race of man


So impetuos and afraid

There's potential in this race


A man can spark hope


But in masse they do regress

A constant downward slope





How have they come so far

Yet have so far to go


It seems evolution stalled


On the nature of a man

From living in caves


To manned flights in space


And for all that is worth

Still the sad pathetic race





(Chorus)

Can't you see what's plain as day


It's always been there inside of you


One saving grace that's hard to face

Embracing the truth will change your fate


It's up to you and the path you choose


To be led to the slaughter or lead the way

The quest for light, a worthwhile fight


Will you have what it takes?


Come what may




(Bridge)


If you'd just look

Look inside yourselves


You'll find the answers to your pain


The hardest road

The hardest road to enlightenment


Presents a constant test


Of your resolve

Time for you


Time for you is running out

The human race must evolve


Must evolve



(Chorus)


Can't you see what's plain as day

It's always been there inside of you


One saving grace that's hard to face

Embracing the truth will change your fate

It's up to you and the path you choose


To be led to the slaughter or lead the way

The quest for light, a worthwhile fight

Will you have what it takes?


Come what may



(back-vocals)


As I watch through the ages

The troubled race of man

Seems evolution stalled

Still a sad pathetic race


Will you have what it takes?

Come what may
