Seeking an answer we already knew
We drove out to Rittenhouse Square
We wanted to ask
"What's the meaning of life?"
To find out if anyone cared
There were old men on benches
And women in heels
Executives in suitcoats and ties
Ah, but nobody knew the meaning of life
’Cause they never hear anything but lies

Take a stand for the light
In the middle of the night
Takе a stand
We've been afraid
We'vе been waiting much too long
Take a stand for what’s true
In everything you do
Take a stand, take a stand

Some were unfriendly, others were kind
Intellectuals found it very amusing
"I got it all figured out"
He replied with a smile
"And I'd tell you, but it's much too confusing"
There were young children playing
In the corner of the park
Not ready for the pain and the sorrow
Whoa, will anyone tell them
The answers to the questions
That they will grow up to tomorrow?
Take a stand for the light
In the middle of the night
Take a stand
We've been afraid
We've been waiting much too long
Take a stand for what's true
In everything you do
Take a stand
Take a stand

There are so many people
And so many searching
Wherever you are, you can see them
But till we are living
The truth right beside them
The meaning of life will never free them

Take a stand for the light
In the middle of the night
Take a stand
We've been waiting much too long
Take a stand for what's true
In everything you do
Take a stand
Take a stand
Take a stand
Take a stand
Take a stand
Take a stand
Take a stand
Take a stand...
