lyrics

It's the human condition
That's why we are here
To struggle and fail
Moved by desire and fear

The balance we're after
The turmoil we face
It's just an illusion
Some enchanted place

But it's the human condition
To feel pity and pain
It's not what we're after
But then what's in a name

We say there's no evil
There's no bad there's no good
Just something to rise above
That's well understood

But it's the human condition
To see the light on the path
We fill our hearts with compassion
And then hope it will last

We say that we look for love
It's the reason we sing
It's just like an arrow
Without bow and string

But it's the human condition
To live a life of regret
Misunderstanding emotions
We'd sooner forget

Mother of darkness
Father of light
It slips through our fingers
Into a gray twilight

But it's the human condition
This wasteland of ours
We travel this highway
Between the earth and the stars
