A letra:
You
ask what is the quality of life?
Seeking to justify the part you
play
And hide, fearing it incomplete, to try
To make it any
more or less than short and sweet
But short, short is from you to me, as
close
As we are wont to try to make it be
We're caught watching
the dark in the sky, who knows?
Helpless as time itself to hold
the time of day
And you, you are a fantasy, a view
From
where you'd like to think the world should see
Be true and you
will likely find a few
Building a vision new and justice to our
time
And we, we, the immoral men, we
dare
Naked and fearless in the elements
And free, carefree of
tempting fate, aware
And holding off the moral nightmare at the
gates
And sweet, sweet as a mountain stream,
we'll look
Toward a new day breaking in the east
We'll meet as
every future dream unfolds
And surely quality that is the very
least
