For this day of days          

Seems my mind seeks ways         

Back through your life  

Back through your life

I try to know how it feels          

Tell me please is this life real?

Or do we live in a world of dreams?

Can we ever quite achieve our aspirations?

Can good intentions ever last more than a day?

Have you ever found enough fulfilment 

To last a long time?….then show me the way

Tell me about it, my mother 

Tell me how all these things feel 

Tell me if each man is my brother?

And if our lives lead to something that’s real?

What would it be like to be a centenarian?     

Would it make you feel awfully wise?       

Would you really feel the change?

Will we see an end to all this wartime?

Will peace come to the Holy Land? 

Can truth and reconciliation make a stand?

Can we ever quite achieve our aspirations?

Can good intentions ever last more than a day?

Have you ever found enough fulfilment 

To last a long time?….then show me the way

Tell me about it, my mother 

Tell me how all these things feel 

Tell me if each man is my brother?

And if our lives lead to something that’s real?
