If the end will come it will be night All the life we have is from the daylight And of all the planets god is one Hidden in the burning of the sun And I am counting down the years The warnings have begun to appear I wait and live as though I will die I am alive, how can I? The only world I've ever known Has been overrun and overgrown And the saddest ending to describe Is to never bring this world a new life And I am counting down the days The people stop their fighting to pray I wait and live as though I cannot die I am alive, how can I? I sit and wonder asking why I have seen the world lay down to die But the only hell I'll ever know Is where you may go and I may not go I am counting down the hours And on my knees amazed at the power I have to live as though I will die I am alive, how can I?
