On Being Songtext
von Sinkane

The beginning of time, since early man
We all just wanna learn something, wanna comprehend
On faith is not enough, want it in my hand
A shiny image reflecting us in a distance

My sweet Lord, my Lord, be on us
We all wanna have purpose, a hope in our hands, oh
I say Lord, my sweet Lord, is on us
We all wanna have purpose, a hope in our hands, oh

The beginning of time, through modern man
We′re all the honest believers of some master plan
Man is only a man
Obsessed with searching to find another myth to justify
I know, I won't know, won′t lighten the load
We want to stay up past dawn


The beginning of time, 'til the end of man
We won't get any closer, we won′t comprehend
Man is only a man
Obsessed with searching to find another myth to justify
I know, I won′t know, won't lighten the load
We want to stay up past dawn

We may never know, but we can always choose hate or truth
We may never know, but we can always choose hate or truth
We may never know, but we can always choose hate or truth
We may never know, but we can always choose hate or truth

(We may never know) we can′t help but stress about and contemplate
(We may never know) all that we are and how we got this way
(We may never know) what's real or fake, what is fate, oh Lord
We may never know, but we can always choose hate or truth

(We may never know) I wanna know what this life is gonna take
(We may never know) and if I′m dreaming will I ever wake?
(We may never know) what's real or fake, I don′t know
We may never know, but we can always choose hate or truth

(We may never know) I wouldn't talk so much about my doubt
(We may never know) if there was something else I knew so well
(We may never know) I've kept it vague to relate, so it goes
We may never know, but we can always choose hate or truth


(We may never know) and I thought dropping out would make me see
(We may never know) bought into all the myths, I gave myself away
(We may never know) and I just ended up far from home
We may never know, but we can always choose hate or truth

(We may never know) and as for all my constent questioning
(We may never know) have to let it go and all my fame
(We may never know) right behind my eyes I found my peace
We may never know, but we can always choose hate or truth

So in the name of love, I accept reality
For all its grace and its constant reckoning
Like flowers from the weeds, we stretch into majesty
This love is all we got, don′t let it turn into antiquity

And with all my heart, I give all of myself to you
As our haunted past resurrects in full bloom
As these dark shadows bloom, fogging up our view
We may never know, but we can always choose hate or truth

We may never know, but we can always choose hate or truth
We may never know, but we can always choose hate or truth
We may never know, but we can always choose hate or truth
We may never know, but we can always choose hate or truth

We may never know, but we can always choose hate or truth
We may never know, but we can always choose hate or truth
We may never know, but we can always choose hate or truth
We may never know
