Nothing can survive in a vacuum    No one can exists all alone    We pretend things only happen to strangers    We've all got problems of our own       It's enough to learn to share our pleasures    We can't sooth pain with sympathy    All that we can do is be reminded --    We shake our heads at the tragedy       Every day we're standing in a time capsule    Racing down a river from the past    Every day we're standing in a wind tunnel    Facing down the future coming fast       It's just the age    It's just a stage --    We disengage -- We turn the page...       Looking at the long-range forecast    Catching all the names in the news    Checking out the state of the nation    Learning the environmental blues       Truth is after all a moving target    Hairs to split, and pieces that don't fit    How can anybody be enlightened?    Truth is after all so poorly lit
