Question Lyrics - Fish

[moody blues, "question of balance"] 

(justin hayward) 

Why do we never get an answer 

When we're knocking at the door 

With a thousand million questions 

About hate and death and war? 

''cause when we stop and look around us 

There is nothing that we need 

In a world of persecution 

That is parting in it's greed 

Why do we never get an answer 

When we're knocking at the door? 

Because the truth is hard to swallow 

It's like a wall of blood before... 

It's not the way that you say it when you do those things to me 

It's more the way that you mean it when you tell me what will be and when you stop and think about it 

You won't believe it's true 

That all the love you've been giving 

Has all been meant for you I'm looking for someone to change my life 

I'm looking for a miracle in my life 

But if you could see what it's done to me 

To lose the love I knew 

That safely leads me through... 

Between the silence of the mountains and the crashing of the sea 

There lies a land I once lived in 

And she's waiting there for me 

But in the grey of the morning 

My mind becomes confused 

Between the dead, and the sleeping, 

And the road that I must choose 

I'm looking for someone to change my life 

I'm looking for a miracle in my life 

And if you could see what it's done to me 

To lose the love I knew 

Could safely lead me to 

The land that I once knew 

The land as we grow old 

The secrets of our soul 

It's not the way that you say it when you do those things to me 

It's more the way you really mean it when you tell me what will be 

Why do we never get an answer 

When we're knocking at the door? 

With a thousand million questions 

About hate and death and war 

But when we stop and look around us 

There is nothing that we need 

In a world of persecution 

That is parting in it's greed
