Sometimes I feel that we've been herded like sheep   We've been led out like lambs to the slaughter   And empty souls, kept the downtrodden down   And took the best and left us the fodder      Still in my heart I feel such purpose   A reason for being alive      And I wanna know   Well, I want to know      Sometimes it seems, there was meant to be more   Than this rush and this battle to living   And there's the times, we've all tasted the space   That you know when we feel that we're giving      So take some time to think about this   I'm blinded now, I'd like to see      And I wanna to know   Well, I wanna know      I wanna see through all the barriers   Were created before I was born   Were they put out there just to guide me   Or keep the weak from becoming strong      Yeah, I wanna know   Well, I wanna know      Still in my heart I feel such purpose   A reason for being alive      And I wanna to know   I wanna to know      Sometimes I fear that all men are asleep   Must we shout to awake those that slumber?      I wanna know   I wanna to know   'Cause I wanna to know
