End of the Beginning Lyrics

When I was young I would sit for hours

Focusing my mental powers

Where's the end of the universe

And why our atoms don't disperse

My Mother used to say now son

Why can't you be like everyone

There's nothing you can do or say

That changes it in any way

As years have passed and still today

I drift farther into space

I think the answers we all need

Are in the places we can't see

I often think who made these rules

What sets the boundaries on what to choose

And all the days of child like wonder

Fade away, Just fade away

And to add to our confusion

Subterfuge shoved in our face

Were programmed not to think today

That this could be a better place

When I was young I would sit for hours

And wonder from where this all came

There must be a higher purpose

Some kind of plan, how long the wait

My Mother used to say now son

Why can't you be like everyone

There's nothing that you can do or say

That changes it in any way

I think were born with eyes wide open

Society takes our sight away

And all the days of child like wonder

Gets replaced with weight of the day

And to add to our confusion

Media in constant play

No one to blame No side to choose

No war to win No peace to lose

My Mother used to say now son

Why can't you be like everyone

There's nothing that you can do or say

That changes it in any way

As years have passed and still today

I drift farther into space

I think the answers we all need

Are in the places we can't see
