"the song seems to be about the inability of the intellect or

Reasoning mind to understand certain basic truths about life" -

Michael been



How you gonna tell your story

Are you gonna tell it rue

Either with or without reason

Love has paid the price for you

How you gonna cure this feeling

How you gonna right this wrong

Either with or without reason

The weaker do protect the strong

Listen in your hour of pain

Either in or out of season

The hunters still pursue the game

Oh, there's somebody waiting

Oh, there's somebody near

Oh, there's somebody waiting

Oh, there's somebody here

Now lately i've begun to wonder

Just who is talking when you speak

Either with or without reason

The stronger still pursue the weak

The wisest of the fools can tell you

Anything you want to hear

Either with or without reason

These are truths you hold so dear

Oh, there's somebody waiting

Oh, there's somebody near

Oh, there's somebody waiting

Oh, there's somebody here

I dedicate this inner chamber

I dedicate this harvest toil

Either with or without reason

The language of the heart takes hold

Now don't you see that love offends us

When it rises up against this waste

Either with or without reason

Evidence of sin and grace

Oh, there's somebody waiting

Oh, there's somebody near

Oh, there's somebody waiting

Oh, there's somebody here
