The Great Debate |
What if someone said |
Promise lies ahead |
Hopes are high in certain scientific circles |
Life won’t have to end |
You could walk again |
What if someone said |
Problems lie ahead |
They’ve uncovered something highly controversial |
The right to life is strong |
Can’t you see it’s wrong |
Human kind has reached a turning point |
Poised for conflict at ground zero |
Ready for a war |
Do we look to our unearthly guide |
Or to white coat heroes |
Searching for a cure |
Turn to the light |
Don’t be frightened of the shadows it creates |
Turn to the light |
Turning away would be a terrible mistake |
Anarchistic moral vision |
Industries of death |
Facing violent opposition |
Unmolested breathe |
Ethic inquisitions breed |
Antagonistic views |
Right wing sound bite premonitions |
In a labyrinth of rules |
Are you justified |
Are you justified |
Are you justified |
Justified in taking |
Life to save life |
Life to save life |
Taking life to save life |
This embryonic clay |
Wrapped in fierce debate |
Would be thrown away |
Or otherwise discarded |
Some of us believe |
It may hold the key |
To treatment of disease |
And secrets highly guarded |
Are you justified |
Are you justified |
Are you justified |
Justified in taking |
Life to save life |
Life to save life |
Life to save life |
Human kind has reached a turning point |
Poised for conflict at ground zero |
Ready for a war |
Do we look to our unearthly guide |
Or to white coat heroes |
Turn to the light |
Don’t be frightened of the shadows it creates |
Turn to the light |
Turning away would be a terrible mistake |
We’re reaching |
But have we gone too far |
Harvesting existence |
Only to destroy |
Carelessly together |
We are sliding |
Someone else’s future |
Four days frozen still |
Someone else’s fate |
We are deciding |
Miracle potential |
Sanctity of life |
Faced against each other |
We’re divided |
Should we push the boundaries |
Or should we condemn |
Moral guilt and science |
Have collided |
Turn to the light |
We defy our own mortality these days |
Turn to the light |
Pay attention to the questions we have raised |
