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?
`cuz when we stop and look around us
There is nothing that we need
In a world of persecution
That is parting in its greed

Why do we never get an answer
When we`re knocking at the door?
Because the truth is hard to swallow
It`s like a wall of blood before...

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
But if you could see what it`s done to me
To lose the love I knew
That safely leads 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 love I knew
Could safely lead me to
The land that I once knew
The land as we grow old
The secrets of our soul

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
But when we stop and look around us
There is nothing that we need
In a world of persecution
That is parting in its greed
