So tell me now the truth What are we to do When all that's left of what we thought we knew Has no proof and no reason to subside? The lives that we have tried to make out own Are tested by the force that's still unknown It takes one moment for the world to bring you swiftly to your knees The one component you should never let go is hope The view from far away has changed The road ahead may be long The race is not run Please do not delay for the battle is not yet won We will pray for him My son It's absurd! The place I least expect To find a source of comfort in this mess Is holding outstretched arms We haven't found a cure We're witnessing the human race fighting its own war But there's still hope The view from far away has changed The road ahead may be long The race is not run Please do not delay for the battle is not yet won We will pray for him My son
