[Verse 1]
As I watch through ages
And gaze upon this world
The troubled race of man
So impetuous and afraid
There's potential in this race
A man can spark hope
But in mass they do regress
A constant downward slope

[Verse 2]
How have they come so far?
Yet have so far to go?
It seems evolution stalled
On the nature of a man
From living in caves
'Till man flies in space
And for all that is worth
Still the sad pathetic race

[Chorus]
Can't you see what's plain as day?
It's always been there inside of you
One saving grace that's hard to face
Embracing the truth
Will change your fate
It's up to you and the path you choose
To be led to the slaughter
Or lead the way
The quest for light, a worthwhile fight
Will you have what it takes?
Come what may
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
If you'd just look, look inside yourselves
You'll find the answers to your pain
The hardest road
The hardest road to enlightenment
Presents a constant test of your resolve
Time for you, time for you is running out
The human race must evolve
Must evolve

[Chorus]
Can't you see what's plain as day?
It's always been there inside of you
One saving grace that's hard to face
Embracing the truth
Will change your fate
It's up to you and the path you choose
To be led to the slaughter
Or lead the way
The quest for light, a worthwhile fight
Will you have what it takes?
Come what may
(Come what may!)
Can't you see what's plain as day?
It's always been there inside of you
(As I watch through the ages!)
One saving grace that's hard to face
Embracing the truth will change your fate
(The troubled race of man!)
It's up to you and the path you choose
(It seems evolution stalled!)
To be led to the slaughter or lead the way
(Still a sad pathetic race!)
The quest for light, a worthwhile fight
(Will you have what it takes?)
Will you have what it takes?
Come what may!
