A Thousand Years Ago

Some may say
 The choice is ours
 Others seek advice while starin at the stars
 Others fold their hands and pray and wait
 Hoping that one momentous day
 Their heaven will await
 And those who hope through microscopes each day
 Say they know the answer but its only theory
 Was our fate set in stone
 A thousand years ago
 There exists a girl halfway round the world who looks as lost as
 lost could be
 Who looks exhausted just like me
 And she's been losing sleep over thoughts too deep to consume
 As she stares at the ceiling of her room
 And though she's trying so hard to make some sense about
 Every little thing and each event that
 Comes her way and now she's praying
 Up into the sky where her god is waiting
 But is he really there to listen to her prayers
 Or is he from a story
 A thousand years ago
 What do you believe is true
 in a world that's filled with lies
 And who do you think painted the pictures that became our
 morning skies
 Do you even think at all or are just another
 Materialistic fool or skeptic
 who counts their money just to see if they're alive
 And are you alive
 Some may say
 The choice is ours
 Others seek advice while starin at the stars
 Others fold their hands and pray and wait
 Hoping that one momentous day
 They're heaven will await
 And those who hope through microscopes each day
 Say they know the answer but its only theory
 Was our fate set in stone
 A thousand years ago
