What if someone said Promise lies ahead Hopes are high in certain scientific circles Life won't have to end You could walk again
What if someone said Problems lie ahead They've uncovered something highly controversial The right to life is strong Can't you see it's wrong
Human kind has reached a turning point Poised for conflict at ground zero Ready for a war Do we look to our unearthly guide Or to white coat heroes Searching for a cure
Turn to the light Don't be frightened of the shadows it creates Turn to the light Turning away would be a terrible mistake
Anarchistic moral vision Industries of death Facing violent opposition Unmolested breathe
Ethic inquisitions breed Antagonistic views Right wing sound bite premonitions In a labyrinth of rules
Are you justified Are you justified Are you justified Justified in taking Life to save life Life to save life Taking life to save life
This embryonic clay Wrapped in fierce debate Would be thrown away Or otherwise discarded
Some of us believe It may hold the key To treatment of disease And secrets highly guarded
Are you justified Are you justified Are you justified Justified in taking Life to save life Life to save life Life to save life
Human kind has reached a turning point Poised for conflict at ground zero Ready for a war Do we look to our unearthly guide Or to white coat heroes
Turn to the light Don't be frightened of the shadows it creates Turn to the light Turning away would be a terrible mistake
We're reaching But have we gone too far
Harvesting existence Only to destroy Carelessly together We are sliding
Someone else's future Four days frozen still Someone else's fate We are deciding
Miracle potential Sanctity of life Faced against each other We're divided
Should we push the boundaries Or should we condemn Moral guilt and science Have collided
Turn to the light We defy our own mortality these days Turn to the light Pay attention to the questions we have raised
