I often wonder where we go
When life and love forsake
Death that trails long and slow
With terror in his wake
Do they walk on moonless nights
What dangers do they heed
When all I ask, after the fight
Is forgiveness at God-Speed

I know the silence that I learned
Still all they do is shout
I often wonder where to turn
When hope and faith run out
Like the hollow of an empty well
My words and faith dry
And I will carry a part of hell
Inside me til I die

I often wonder what I'd do
When I'm done with feeling weak
And I came face to face with you
And still I could not speak
Would I fight you one more time
Could I find the words to say
Would you still commit your crime
Or would I walk away
