The globe resembles a question mark
When it wakes up
To another new day
War and peace for an eternity
As we wear down
Another new day
Around the floor when all the boundaries shift
And they shift, yes they shift
Everyone knows it goes up and down, that's just how it is
Come now
Life is waiting
Now, today, and again tomorrow, that's just how it is
Come now
Life is waiting
The sound of a good friend's voice through the phone
Asks me
What's happening here?
A length of time passes where he doesn't say anything
And then he cries, he asks me
What's happening here?
Questions can cause pain if the answers are hiding
And they're hiding, yes they're hiding
Everyone knows it goes up and down, that's just how it is
Come now
Life is waiting
Now, today, and again tomorrow, that's just how it is
Come now
Life is waiting
There's a little boy who wanted to go to war but never managed to
And a scared soldier who hides and dreams of a little peace
While butterfly wings burn up and sprinkle down
On an uncertain heart somewhere
Nowadays it hurts when hope leaves me
Am I alone?
Right here in the middle of a square with a thousand people
I'm alone
Loneliness is only dangerous if you get used to it
And you get used to it, god, how you get used to it
Everyone knows it goes up and down, that's just how it is
Come now
Life is waiting
Now, today, and again tomorrow, that's just how it is
Come now
Life is waiting...
