Lyrics by Eric Boles
======================

There is always a price to pay
In the world that we live in
Fate descends on the innocent
Ignorant to the keepers of sin
Now chaos erupts in the streets
Explosions take their lives
Blood and bodies lying everywhere
Just people trying to survive
Will you believe?
Or, just living in bliss
Will you believe?
And spirits fight and journey on
Reach for the light when the last candles burn
Itís wrong from right
Our spirits fight and we journey on
Reach for the light when the last candles burn
Itís wrong from right
And we journey onÖ
Terror strikes over faith and politics
Earthsí children a sacrifice
Many more will die in the days to come
We try to exist within the human price
The toll is the price
That we all have to pay
Itís a future sign
Itís a future sign
And we all must stay
And the toll is the price
In the end we all pay
Flowers bloom and the birth of a child
They ascend to the life ahead
Unaware of the evil all around
They ascend to the life ahead
Climbing to the surface
In the distance thereís a light
New eyes awakened in a new world
In this desolation we must put up a fight
We have the right to exist
We have the right to make a change
The futuresí youth wonít let us down
They will right the wrong and end the pain
**Newscaster voice-over**
More explosions erupt in the streets today after protesters gather in front of the embassy
A 15 year old teen faces charges of first degree murder after open firing a handgun
at school.
Yet another oil spill has happened in the south pacific and is once again threatening
the lives of a massive population of sea life
