Where Is It Leading

lyrics

WHERE IS IT LEADING

Where is it leading now?
We see mankind wrestling with questions
That it never thought to ask
Where is this light of glory
In which we were to bask?

You throw up your hands
And say “Nothing can be done”
As a wave of terror destroys all you knew
When you were young

Where oh where does it end?
We’re still searching for answers
That stare us in the face
Where is this sunlit heaven
In the realm of time and space?

You lay down your hopes
And say “Such is life”
The new day dawning is but the sharpening
Of that ever-threatening knife

How far will you fall?
While mankind wanders inside you
With eyes that turn away
Where is that bright young boy
With the smile on a cloudy day?

You break the child’s promise
And say “I’m older now”
While the flames turn into ashes
And you try to go on somehow
