THE GREAT DEBATE
What if someone said
Promise lies ahead
Hopes are high in certain scientific circles
Life won't have to end
You could walk again
What if someone said
Problems lie ahead
They're uncovered something highly controversial
Right to life is strong
Can't you see it's wrong?
Human kind has reached a turning point
Poised for conflict at ground zero
We're ready for a war
Do we look to our unearthly guide?
Or the white-coat heroes searching for a cure?
Turn to the light
Don't be frightened of the shadows it creates
Turn to the light
Turning away would be a terrible mistake
Anarchistic moral vision
Industries of death
Facing violent opposition
Unmolested breath
Epic inquisitions breed
Antagonistic views
Right-wing sound-byte premonitions
A labyrinth of rules
Are you justified?
Are you justified?
Are you justified?
Justified in taking?
Life to save life?
Life to save life?
Life to save life?
This embryonic clay
Wrapped in fierce debate
Would be thrown away
Or otherwise discarded
Some of us believe
It may hold the key
To treatment of disease
And secrets highly guarded
Are you justified?
Are you justified?
Are you justified?
Justified in taking?
Life to save life?
Life to save life?
Life to save life?
Human kind has reached a turning point
Poised for conflict at ground zero
We're ready for a war
Do we look to our unearthly guide
Or the white-coat heroes searching for a cure?
Turn to the light
Don't be frightened of the shadows it creates
Turn to the light
Turning away would be a terrible mistake
We've reaching
But have we gone too far?
Harvesting existence
Only to destroy
Carelessly together we are sliding
Someone else future
For days frozen still
Someone else fate we are deciding
Miracle potential
Sanctity of life
Faced against each other, we've divided
Should we push the boundaries
Or should we condemn?
Moral guilt and science have collided
Turn to the light
We defy our own mortality these days
Turn to the light
Pay attention to the questions we have raised
