(Aleluya! Aleluya! Aleluya!)

Chanted, with increasing melody:
Verse 1:
From the canyons of the mind,
We wander on and stumble blindly.
Through the often-tangled maze,
Of starless nights and sunless days,
While asking for some kind of clue,
Or road to lead us to the truth,
But who will answer?

Verse 2:
Side by side two people stand,
Together vowing, hand-in-hand,
That love's imbedded in their hearts,
But soon an empty feeling starts,
To overwhelm their hollow lives,
And when they seek the hows and whys,
Who will answer?

Full melody until spoken verse:
Verse 3:
On a strange and distant hill,
A young man's lying very still.
His arms will never hold his child,
Because a bullet running wild,
Has struck him down and now we cry,
"Dear God, oh, why, oh, why?"
But who will answer?

Verse 4:
High upon a lonely ledge,
A figure teeters near the edge,
And jeering crowds collect below,
To egg him on with, "Go, man, go!"
But who will ask what led him,
To his private day of doom?
And who will answer?

Chorus 1:
If the soul is darkened,

If the mind is baffled,
When the rules don't fit the game,
((Who will answer?))
((Who will answer?))
((Who will answer?))
((Aleluya! Aleluya! Aleluya!))

Spoken:
Verse 5:
In the rooms of darkened shades,
The scent of sandalwood pervades.
The colored thoughts in muddled heads,
Reclining in rumpled beds,
Of unmade dreams that can't come true,
And when we ask what we should do,
Who? Who will answer?

Full melody:
Verse 6:
'Neath the spreading mushroom tree,
The world revolves in apathy,
As overhead, a row of specks,
Roars on, drowned out by discotheques.
And if a secret button's pressed,
Because one man has been outguessed,
Who will answer?

Verse 7:
Is our hope in walnut shells,
Worn 'round the neck with temple bells,
Or deep within some cloistered walls,
Where hooded figures pray in halls?
Or from old books on dusty shelves,
Or in our stars, or in ourselves.
Who will answer?

Chorus 2:
If the soul is darkened, (Aleluya!)
By a fear it cannot name, (Aleluya!)
If the mind is baffled, (Aleluya!)
When the rules don't fit the game, (Ah-ah, ah.)
((Who will answer?))
((Who will answer?))
((Who will answer?))
((Aleluya! Aleluya! Aleluya!))
