No answers only questions

Some of us laugh, 
Some of us cry, 
Some of us lay back - watch the world go by. 
Some of us fear, 
Some of us hate, 
Some of us won't wake up 'till it's too late! 

The distance between us is a mystery to us all, 
The difference between us is so small! 

There are no answers, only questions 
And we're all strangers to the truth 
But in my mind's eye 
I have found the reason why 
And I carry the burden of the proof. 

Why do we fight? 
Why do we fall? 
Why do we stand there - backs against the wall? 
Why don't we change? 
Why don't we try? 
Why don't we turn 'round, help the other guy? 

The distance between us is a mystery to us all, 
The difference between us is so small! 

There are no answers, only questions 
And we're all strangers to the truth 
But in my mind's eye 
I have found the reason why 
And I carry the burden of the proof.
