Come What May

As I watch through the ages And gaze upon this world The troubled race of man So impetuous and afraid There's potential in this race A man can spark hope But en masse they do regress A constant downward slope How have they come so far Yet have so far to go It seems evolution stalled On the nature of a man From living in caves To manned flights in space And for all that is worth Still the sad pathetic race Can't you see what's plain as day It's always been there inside of you One saving grace that's hard to face Embracing the truth will change your fate It's up to you and the path you choose To be led to the slaughter or lead the way The quest for light, a worthwhile fight Will you have what it takes? Come what may If you'd just look Look inside yourselves You'll find the answers to your pain The hardest road (the hardest road) To enlightenment Presents a constant test Of your resolve Time for you (time for you) Is running out The human race must evolve Must evolve Can't you see what's plain as day It's always been there inside of you One saving grace that's hard to face Embracing the truth will change your fate It's up to you and the path you choose To be led to the slaughter or lead the way The quest for light, a worthwhile fight Will you have what it takes? Come what may (come what may) Can't you see what's plain as day It's always been there inside of you One saving grace that's hard to face (as I watch through the ages) Embracing the truth will change your fate (the troubled race of man) It's up to you and the path you choose (seems evolution stalled) To be led to the slaughter or lead the way (still the sad pathetic race) The quest for light, a worthwhile fight (will you have what it takes?) Will you have what it takes? (come what may) Come what may
