Too late for us now?    I sat alone and I spoke out loud    On this darkened afternoon    The windows to my room    A solemn shutter on the world    Where I used to laugh and dream    For the first time in so long I make    My way down to the street and watch    The people as they pass       Outside I breathe the air    And all around fall shadows of despair       I wonder is there hope for us    A place where we can all be free    I wonder is there life inside a soul that dies?    I wonder is there hope for us    To lift me up I don't know when    I'll see the sun again    I'd like to feel alive    Just one more time       Headlines on the floor    Today's bitterness is the calling card    The commercial masquerade    The goods all on parade    The needs of life are charming toys    We've gone deaf from all the noise    WHen did the rich and powerful elite    Slowly and unnoticed    Come and steal our innocense?       Entranced - we danced their dance    The stage is set the crowd is on their knees       I wonder is there hope for us    A place where we can all be free    I wonder is there life inside a soul that dies    I wonder is there hope for us    We're stranded with no place to go    I'm feeling so alone    I'll try to make my way    Through one more day
