The Question That Drives Us

Like a child not ready to be exposed to a world
Where ignorance is bliss and war is all we know
Observing this world through the eyes of a bird
Only then we'll see what we could not be shown

Get inside before they flood the skies
The earth will then be cracked wait for the smoke to rise
At all costs we must endure this time
Extinction imminent somehow we will survive

The sweet relief of knowing we are not alone
Others just like us offer a hand to trust
Voices resonating from the depths of our dreams
Tell us to hold on, give us hope when in need

[the human spirit is powerful, soon we will think for ourselves
And discover the world around us. the beautiful, the ugly, the serene, the violent.
We will create and destroy, live and learn, experience love and loss.
Anything that is thrown at us we'll find a way through.
We'll find a way because we've only scratched the surface of our potential]

Can genetic diversity offer hope for humanity
In the form of a child untainted by reality
Just a spark of ingenuity to think up something quick
Before the hands of fate point to our conclusion
It's the question that drives us, the answer will find us
But nobody looks at it the same
It's the question that drives us, the answer will find us
Wrap me in the light of day

Outlast
Evolve
Rebirth
Breathe in
Open (your eyes)
Take in (the daylight)
Explore (this new world)
Breathe in (this new air)

And we will do whatever it takes
To leave something behind worth the price we paid
The apocalypse can wait at least for one more day
Our breed's not dying out this is a renaissance

We've wandered this earth in search of so much more
For what it takes to be more than who we are
And when our time comes will our bodies be one with the earth
There is life in every breath that we take.
