Ask(Why)

I did as you asked and
I walked this land
Wondering, oh
If I could understand why

My family's so fragile
And my people so cold
My face I see
In every face I behold

I looked so far and
I searched so deep
I wanna be free of
These questions eating me
They're saying

Why are we so sick and
Why are we so tied and
Why is this hunger never satisfied

I need to know why
All the hurt's unmasked
How much longer until
I'll be free of the past
So I ask

So I ask Isis
My sacred goddess
Please won't you help this
Poor boy to understand now

There is a coming crisis
All eyes can see this
Please save us from ourselves
From ourselves

Then she came to me in a vision
And gave to me this mission
To hear and to heal

She told me
That I am never dying
But giving myself endlessly
To all of her being

And I won't stop, oh no
I can't give up
Until it's gone

Suddenly some of this made some sense
Looking down this path of recompense
I see how we hurt you, I saw we been hurt
I see how the chaos spills into the earth

Man and woman now so divided
Apart from each other
Though reunited
They're sayin'

Why are we so sick and
Why are we so tied and
Why is this hunger never satisfied

I need to know why
All the hurt's unmasked
How much longer until
I'll be free of the past
So I ask

So I ask Isis
My sacred goddess
Please won't you help this
Poor boy to understand now

There is a coming crisis
All eyes can see this
Please help us save ourselves
From ourselves

I know there is a reason
I came into this being
Right here and right now
And there is
I know there is a fire
You can see it burning higher
Clear until the dawn

And I won't stop, oh no
I can't give up
Until it's gone
