The Question That Drives Us Lyrics

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.

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 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 (this new air).
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.
