I'm looking for reasons

To wage these petty wars

This fighting in my head

Hurts too much to ignore

I keep looking skyward

Pray some good will come

As far as I can see

We're not the guilty ones



Father where's the hand that feeds me

Where has gone my youth?

Tell me where this life will lead me to

Father where's the hand that feeds me?



All the love between us

Is all we've ever had

Bring your body to bed

Help me make it last

So much is determined

Way before you're born

Nothing seems to count

For too much anymore



I believe my heart is beating

In my throat

It's the same old fright

That's so familiar

I'm not looking back

To find a saviour for my soul

But I'd sure like an answer
