Ed Ames - Who Will Answer lyrics

Hallelujah! Hallelujah!, Hallelujah!

From the canyons of the mind,
We wander on & stumble blindly
Through the often-tangled maze
Of starless nights & sunless days,
While asking for some kind of clue
Or road to lead us to the truth,
But who´ll answer?

Side by side two people stand,
Together vowing, hand-in-hand
That love is imbedded in their hearts,
But soon an empty feeling starts
To overwhelm their hollow lives,
And when they seek the hows & whys,
Who´ll answer?

On a strange & distant hill,
A young man´s lying very suntil.
His arms will never hold his child,
Because a bullet running wild
Has struck him down. And now we cry,
"Dear God, Oh, why, oh, why?"
But who´ll 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!"
But who´ll ask what led him
To his private day of doom,
And who´ll answer?

#chorus#

If the soul is darkened
By a fear it can´t name,
If the mind is baffled
When the rules don´t fit the game,
Who´ll answer? Who´ll answer? Who´ll answer?
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!, Hallelujah!

In the rooms of dark & shades,
The scent of sandalwood pervades.
The colored thoughts in muddled heads
Reclining in the rumpled beds
Of unmade dreams that can´t come true,
And when we ask what we should do,
Who... Who´ll 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´ll 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´ll answer?

(Repeat Chorus Below)

If the soul is darkened
By a fear it can´t name,
If the mind is baffled
When the rules don´t fit the game,
Who´ll answer? Who´ll answer? Who´ll answer?
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!, Hallelujah!
