There is a distance between who we are and how we live
and though it's an easy road to discern, it's seldom bridged.
We're going to try, oh how we'll try,
but will we be wise enough to know just why?
Someday our time will come like a cool clarion call
then it's a choice we'll make either well or not at all.
What will it be, what will it be,
and will we be young enough to yearn and believe?
There'll come a time when we'll be brave and self a**ured
and all of those doubters will take back every word.
But when will that be, when will that be,
and will we be old enough to know what it means?
