Question

war pictures and the song Question by the Moody Blues.
Not meant to be political. Questions society and the choices we make.

here are the words to the song:


"Question"

Why do we never get an answer
When we're knocking at the door?
With a thousand million questions
About hate and death and war.

It's where we stop and look around us
There is nothing that we need.
In a world of persecution
That is burning in it's greed.

Why do we never get an answer
When we're knocking at the door?
Because the truth is hard to swallow
That's what the wall of love is for.

It's not the way that you say it
When you do those things to me.
It's more the way that you mean it
When you tell me what will be.

And when you stop and think about it
You won't believe it's true.
That all the love you've been giving
Has all been meant for you.

I'm looking for someone to change my life.
I'm looking for a miracle in my life.
And if you could see what it's done to me
To lose the the love I knew
Could safely lead me through.

Between the silence of the mountains
And the crashing of the sea
There lies a land I once lived in
And she's waiting there for me.

But in the grey of the morning
My mind becomes confused
Between the dead and the sleeping
And the road that I must choose.

I'm looking for someone to change my life.
I'm looking for a miracle in my life.
And if you could see what it's done to me
To lose the the love I knew
Could safely lead me to
The land that I once knew.
To learn as we grow old
The secrets of our souls.

It's not the way that you say it
When you do those things to me.
It's more the way you really mean it
When you tell me what will be.

Why do we never get an answer
When we're knocking at the door?
With a thousand million questions
About hate and death and war.

It's where we stop and look around us
There is nothing that we need.
In a world of persecution
That is burning in it's greed.

Why do we never get an answer
When we're knocking at the door?

and Jesus said, the kingdom is in your midst, even within you... rationalize all you like, we lack nothing, not the grace or the opportunity. The real revolution is the evolution of the human mind to become truly humane. It is time to refute the divisions, to accept that our commonality lies in our individual differences and that among us is only the sacred uniqueness of the other, the holy sanctity of our minds.

I listened to this song in 1971 while waiting for my draft number to be called over the intercom at my high school in StL MO. Times don't change enough it seems. The song still says it all, and there's always another war to ask the same question, without an answer.

I must be a dreamer too.
