What Kind of Reason

I could stay all of the night

Wondering where this thoughts may take me

I would think all that I want

Knowing how this might affect me

How can I

Just lie down and sleep

When there's so much to know and to say

How can I

Hide from it all

With a lifetime of war on its way

How can I

Remain without doubt

When all that they want is so near

I can try

To stay shy of my anger

And all that I'm holding so dear

What kind of reason

Can you give to me

Taking all this time to fight

Those who do not see

A world in the same light

As you always will

Nothing else surprises me

And time never yields

What kind of future

Do we hope to share

With acceding humanity

Deriving everywhere

What's your faith bring you

Clutching as one some angel of hope

Surely just as random as a star sight

Changing direction there's far too much rope

How can I

Lie down and sleep

When there's so much to know and to say

What kind of reason

Can you give to me

Taking all this time to fight

Those who do not see

A world in the same light

As you always will

Nothing else surprises me

And time never yields

What kind of future

Do we hope to share

With acceding humanity

Deriving everywhere

What kind of reason

Can you give to me

What kind of future

Do we hope to share

What kind of reason

Can you give to me

What kind of future

Do we hope to share

What kind of reason

Can you give to me

Taking this time

To fight those who don't see
