There's no getting 'round it anymore
It is what it is and it will always be
We do the things that make us what we are
All of the things we know
And all of the things that we don't see
We can try to deny it
And live in a world of pretend
But try as we may
Try as we may it will bite us in the end
These are the days of our lives
And we want to hold them all so dear
These are the days of our lives
And the end is always near
These are the days
We think we know just who we are
And all the things we are capable of
We know we can do such great harm
But we know we can also make great love
If we can only work past our hate
And all our many insecurities
We might slay all the evil in this world
Bring it right down to its knees
We pray to God as if he cares
Mostly we do it to assuage our guilt
We ask him to forgive us all our sins
And we ask him to look at
All the monuments we've have built
Yes we can make all of our plans, all our plans
And we can try and hope for the best
And maybe some day if we have a little luck
All our questions will be addressed
