What if someone said
Promises lie ahead
Hopes are high in certain scientific circles
Life won't have to end
You could walk againWhat if someone said
Problems lie ahead
They've uncovered something highly controversial
The right to life is strong
Can't you see it's wrongHuman kind has reached a turning point
Poised for conflict at ground zero
Ready for a war
Do we look to our unearthyly guide
Or to white coat heroes
Searching for a cureTurn to the light
Don't be frightened of the shadows it creates
Turn to the light
Turning away would be a terrible mistakeAnarchistic moral vision
Industries of death
Facing violent opposition
Unmolested breathsEthic inquisitions breed
Antagonistic views
Right wing sound bite premonitions
In a labyrinth of rulesAre you justified
Are you justified
Are you justified
Justified in taking
Life to save life
Life to save life
Life to save lifeThis embryonic clay
Wrapped in fierce debate
Would be thrown away
Or otherwise discardedSome of us believe
It may hold the key
To treatment of disease
And secrets highly guardedAre you justified
Are you justified
Are you justified
Justified in taking
Life to save life
Life to save life
Life to save lifeHuman kind has reached a turning point
Poised for conflict at ground zero
Ready for a war
Do we look to our unearthyly guide
Or to white coat heroes
Searching for a cureTurn to the light
Don't be frightened of the shadows it creates
Turn to the light
Turning away would be a terrible mistakeWe're reaching
But have we gone too farHarvesting existence
Only to destroy
Carelessly together
We are slidingSomeone else's future
Four days frozen still
Someone else's fate
We are decidingMiracle potential
Sanctity of life
Faced against each other
We're dividedShould we push the boundries
Or should we condemn
Moral guilt and science
Have collidedTurn to the light
We defy our own mortality these days
Turn to the light
Pay attention to the questions we have raised
