lyrics

Inside, inside
You fade away

Can’t hide, You can’t hide
From the light of day

Inside, inside
You’ve gone away

You fade away today, while you stay

We meet in an hour of change
In a decade of hope
In an age of both knowledge and ignorance

New ignorance, new problems, new dangers
Promise high costs
As well as high rewards

So it is not surprising
That the greater our knowledge increases
The greater our ignorance unfolds

The vast stretches of the unknown, and the unanswered, and the unfinished
Still far outstrip our collective comprehension

Despite that
Our hopes can only be fulfilled by those who move forward
Our obligations to ourselves, as well as others
Are accompanied with great difficulty
And overcome with answerable courage

We shall make up and move ahead
Because there is new knowledge to be gained
And we mean to be a part of it

Why climb the highest mountain?
Why choose this as our goal?

For the eyes of the world has no conscience of its own

You find me inside out
As you fall down, as you fall down

You find me inside out
As you fall down, as you fall down

You find me inside out
As you fall down, as you fall down

You find me inside out
As you fall down, as you fall down

You find me inside out
As you fall, as you fall
