Now if a man tried

To take his time on Earth
用尽此生光阴
And prove before he died

What one man's life could be worth

Well I wonder what would happen to this world

She used a life line
挣脱了命运的枷锁
As something more than

Some man's servant mother wife time

As I look around us

There's such strange things
世间充满荒诞景象
There's muggers and there's jugglers
盗匪与小丑同台登场
And we are led by clowns
我们被愚人牵着方向
If an answer ever found us
若真寻得解答良方
Would we change things
可会扭转现状
Or are we just a people
或我们早已腐朽如常
Rotten ready for the ground
静候入土埋葬
And if our future
倘若我们的未来
Lies on the final line
谎言在终点线上徘徊
Are we brave enough

To see the signals and the signs
看清这些预兆与警示
I wonder what would happen to this world
我不禁思索这世界将何去何从
We see the people
我们目睹人群
We see them marchin' down
看着他们列队前行
Do we join the parade
是随波逐流加入游行
Or do we try and turn around
还是尝试转身逆行

我不禁思索这世界将何去何从
Oh well I wonder

Disciple children walk the streets

Selling books and flowers
贩卖书籍与鲜花
Can they be last ones

With a semblance of a dream

If we say that no one's out there
若我们声称无人存在
And we say we're goin' nowhere
若我们宣称无处可去
And we avoid the question

Is this all that it means

To take his time on earth
用尽他尘世光阴
And prove before he died
在临终前证明
What one man's life could be worth
