Question

Lyrics

Why do we never get an answer
 When we're knocking at the door?
 With a thousand million questions
 About hate and death and war.
 It's where we stop and look around us
 There is nothing that we need.
 In a world of persecution
 That is burning in it's greed.
 Why do we never get an answer
 When we're knocking at the door?
 Because the truth is hard to swallow
 That's what the wall of love is for.
 It's not the way that you say it
 When you do those things to me.
 It's more the way that you mean it
 When you tell me what will be.
 And when you stop and think about it
 You won't believe it's true.
 That all the love you've been giving
 Has all been meant for you.
 I'm looking for someone to change my life.
 I'm looking for a miracle in my life.
 And if you could see what it's done to me
 To lose the the love I knew
 Could safely lead me through.
 Between the silence of the mountains
 And the crashing of the sea
 There lies a land I once lived in
 And she's waiting there for me.
 But in the grey of the morning
 My mind becomes confused
 Between the dead and the sleeping
 And the road that I must choose.
 I'm looking for someone to change my life.
 I'm looking for a miracle in my life.
 And if you could see what it's done to me
 To lose the the love I knew
 Could safely lead me to
 The land that I once knew.
 To learn as we grow old
 The secrets of our souls.
 It's not the way that you say it
 When you do those things to me.
 It's more the way you really mean it
 When you tell me what will be.
 Why do we never get an answer
 When we're knocking at the door?
 With a thousand million questions
 About hate and death and war.
 It's where we stop and look around us
 There is nothing that we need.
 In a world of persecution
 That is burning in it's greed.
 Why do we never get an answer
 When we're knocking at the door?
