Who Will Answer lyrics

Artist  : Ed Ames 
Song : Who Will Answer



 Send "Who Will Answer" Ringtone to your Cell 

 

(Chanted, with increasing melody)
From the
canyons of the mind,
We wander on and stumble
blindly
Through the often-tangled maze
Of
starless nights and sunless days,
While
casting for some kind of clue
Or road to lead
us to the truth,
But who will
answer?

Side by side two people
stand,
Together vowing, hand-in-hand
That
love's imbedded in their hearts,
But soon an
empty feeling starts
To overwhelm their hollow
lives,
And when we seek the hows and
whys,
Who will answer?

High upon a
lonely ledge,
a figure teeters near the
edge,
And jeering crowds collect below
To
egg him on with, "Go, man, go!"
And who will
ask what led him
To his private day of
doom,
And who will answer?

On a strange
and distant hill,
A young man's lying very
still.
His arms will never hold his
child,
Because a bullet running wild
Has
cut him down. And now we cry,
"Dear God, Oh,
why, oh, why?"
And who will
answer?

(Full melody the rest of the
song)

If the soul is darkened by a fear it
cannot name,
If the mind is baffled when the
rules don't fit the game,
Who will answer? Who
will answer? Who will answer?

In the rooms
of dark and shades,
The scent of sandalwood
pervades.
The colored thoughts in muddled
heads
Reclining in rumpled beds
Of unmade
dreams that can't come true,
And when we ask
what we should do,
Who? Who will
answer?

'Neath the spreading mushroom
tree,
The world revolves in apathy
As
overhead, a row of specks
Roars on, drowned
out by discotheques,
And if a secret button's
pressed
Because one man has been
outguessed,
Who will answer?

Is our
hope in walnut shells
Worn 'round the neck
with temple bells,
Or deep within some
cloistered walls
Where hooded figures pray in
halls?
Or crumbled books on dusty
shelves,
Or in our stars, or in
ourselves,
Who will answer?

If the soul
is darkened
By a fear it cannot name,
If the
mind is baffled
When the rules don't fit the
game,
Who will answer? Who will answer? Who
will answer?
Alleluiah! Alleluiah! Alleluiah!
