Nothing can survive in a vacuum
No one can exists all alone
We pretend things only happen to strangers
We`ve all got problems of our own
It`s enough to learn to share our pleasures
We can`t sooth pain with sympathy
All that we can do is be reminded --
We shake our heads at the tragedy
Every day we`re standing in a time capsule
Racing down a river from the past
Every day we`re standing in a wind tunnel
Facing down the future coming fast
It`s just the age
It`s just a stage --
We disengage -- We turn the page...
Looking at the long-range forecast
Catching all the names in the news
Checking out the state of the nation
Learning the environmental blues
Truth is after all a moving target
Hairs to split, and pieces that don`t fit
How can anybody be enlightened?
Truth is after all so poorly lit
