We Must Know
We Must Know, even if we cant understand,
does this make us less than a man !
We Must Know why I do, what I can to please
you .
These are thing I may never know, or feeling
I don't want to show !
We Must Know the end you see, the beginning
you see can show the way .
Now the blind lead the way, the death you know
has something to say !
We Must Know now what we seek, or in the end
end like a ship we sink .
