[Verse 1]
The world is just a playing field for man
And the blanket sky will cover every last event
From the battles of the ages to the baby sleeping tight

[Pre-Chorus 1A]
I could sing a rhyme
And try to find the reasons for each place and time
To wrap the world around my mind
But I know, at best

[Chorus]
Words were never meant for explaining the mystery of our day
We're so afraid of what's at stake when we die
Still, I never wanted to live in such fear of the unknown
Or the reasons for pain in this life

[Verse 2]
I still wonder what we're doing here
As I stare into the midnight sky, confronted by my fears
Is there something worth redeeming in this old and tired world?

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Or has all been lost, cause every change will have its cost
And I can see, there's still an ember left of something good
I know, at best

[Chorus]
Words were never meant for explaining the mystery of our day
We're so afraid of what's at stake when we die
Still, I never wanted to live in such fear of the unknown
Or the reasons for pain in this life

[Pre-Chorus 1B]
I could sing a rhyme
And try to find the reasons for each place and time
To wrap the world around my mind
But I'd regret the time poorly spent
Because I know, I know, at best

[Chorus]
Words were never meant for explaining the mystery of our day
We're so afraid of what's at stake when we die
Still, I never wanted to live in such fear of the unknown
Or the reasons for pain in this life, this life
