Story behind the song
Viktor Frankl: "Ultimately, man should not ask what the meaning of his life is, but rather must recognize that it is he who is asked. In a word, each man is questioned by life; and he can only answer to life by answering for his own life; to life he can only respond by being responsible."
Lyrics
Life Asks the Questions
Words and Music by Alaina Elizabeth and Chapman James
How will you weather the changes?
Don't let it ponder away....
What is the meaning of sorrow?
Which is the right way to pray?
Where are the gods that will listen?
Why does the anguish remain?
When will the sanity find you?
Can you really cope with this pain?
CHORUS 1:
Life asks the questions
Every second we breath
Our Lives are the answers
Responding in deed
Tangible moments
Fall down in a stream
of doubt and elation
Currents of Lies
Sweet drowning Laughter
Cascading Pride
Beloved and believed
Shared and conceived... Alive
What were the last words misspoken?
Meaningless Suffering: Despair
Devoured by the givers and users
Does it take more than one soul to share?
Forget about then for a moment
What are you looking to find?
Where is the heaven you hoped for?
You can have it beyond any time
CHORUS 2:
Life asks the questions
Don't be deceived
Your life has the answer
Responding in deed
Tangible moments
Laid down in a stream
of doubt and elation
Currents of Fear
Sweet drowning Laughter
Cascading Tears
Beloved and believed
Shared and conceived... Revered
BRIDGE:
Should we have come this far?
Are we like others are?
Shall we drink water or wine?
Where will you go today?
What would your father say?
Are you really ready to shine?
Do I have what it takes?
Can I catch any breaks?
Am I worth more than the sum?
Why is the sky so dark?
Which way points to the start?
When will the happiness come?
CHORUS 3:
Life asks the questions
Every second we breath
Our lives are the answers
Responding in deed
Tangible moments
Laid down in a stream
of doubt and elation
Currents of Lies
Sweet drowning Laughter
Cascading Pride
Beloved and believed
Shared and conceived... Alive
While I'm Alive... Life asks the questions...
How will you weather the changes?
Don't let it ponder away....
