As I watch through the 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 masse they do regress 

A constant downward slope 



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 

To manned flights 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 



[Bridge:] 

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 



[back-vocals:] 

As I watch through the ages 

The troubled race of man 

Seems evolution stalled 

Still a sad pathetic race 

Will you have what it takes? 

Come what may
