Lord I'm at a loss to explain   Why we're running before you   Living our lives in sorrow and pain   And still we choose to ignore you   And our hearts they grow colder   Guess we'll never learn   Night is still falling   The signs are up, but no one can read   Not even our top men   Wheels they turn, they're gathering speed   And no one can stop them   But our eyes they grow darker   As the light starts to fade   Night is still falling      Listen now, the voice you can hear   Do you think you can place it   Does it fill you with joy or fill you with fear   But you've still got to face it   All the kids are turning   But there's nowhere to run   Night is still falling      Empty words are all that we speak   When we say we don't need you   Thinking we're strong we make ourselves weak   But it's always what we do   But our hearts they grow harder   Guess that we'll never learn   Night is still falling
