lyrics

A door opened in my heart
Slams shut whenever I see nobody’s acting smart
To look to each others’ lives
Where we can celebrate what differs and what jibes
But everyone thinks they’re right
That all the answers are clear cut as black and white
Reverse your point of view
How would you react if it had happened to you?

I listen to the sages
Telling you where you’ll be heading on down
Are we in the dark ages?

Why don’t we understand?
So busy pointing fingers, it’s getting out of hand
Or level the playing field
Assuming right of way whenever we should yield
And always quick to condemn
They’ll play musical chairs til the tables are turned on them
Reverse your point of view
How would you react if it had happened to you?

I listen to the sages
Telling you where you’ll be heading on down
Are we in the dark ages?

If space is the last frontier
Then can we barely wait to get the heck out of here!
The countdown is almost through
The launching pad is shaking…
With no time left to reverse point of view
How will you react when it has happened to you?

Lift off up to the final stages
Triumph in the air—turmoil on the ground
Reentering the dark ages

I’ll listen to the sages
And if we’re too late to have gotten it down
See you in the dark ages!
