What if someone said
"Promise lies ahead"
"Hopes are high in certain scientific circles"
"Life won't have to end"
"You could walk again"
What if someone said
"Problems lie ahead"
"They've uncovered something highly controversial"
"The right to life is strong"
"Can't you see it's wrong?"

Dream Theater
Humankind has reached a turning point
Poised for conflict at ground zero ready for a war
Do we look to our unearthly guide?
Or to white coat heroes searching for a cure?
Turn to the light
Don't be frightened of the shadows it creates
Turn to the light
Turning away would be a terrible mistake
Anarchistic moral vision, industries of death
Facing violent opposition, unmolested breath
Ethic inquisitions breed antagonistic views
Right wing sound bite premonitions, a labyrinth of rules
Are you justified
Are you justified
Are you justified
Justified in taking
Life to save life?
Life to save life?
Life to save life?
This embryonic clay
Wrapped in fierce debate
Would be thrown away or otherwise discarded
Some of us believe
It may hold the key
To treatment of disease and secrets highly guarded
Are you justified
Are you justified
Are you justified
Justified in taking
Life to save life?
Life to save life?
Life to save life?
Humankind has reached a turning point
Poised for conflict at ground zero ready for a war
Do we look to our unearthly guide?
Or to white coat heroes searching for a cure?
Turn to the light
Don't be frightened of the shadows it creates
Turn to the light
Turning away would be a terrible mistake
We're reaching, but have we gone too far?
Harvesting existence only to destroy
Carelessly together, we are sliding
Someone else's future four days frozen still
Someone else's fate we are deciding
Miracle potential, sanctity of life
Faced against each other, we're divided
Should we push the boundaries? Or should we condemn?
Moral guilt and science have collided
Turn to the light
We defy our own mortality these days
Turn to the light
Pay attention to the questions we have raised
"Promise lies ahead"
"Hopes are high in certain scientific circles"
"Life won't have to end"
"You could walk again"
What if someone said
"Problems lie ahead"
"They've uncovered something highly controversial"
"The right to life is strong"
"Can't you see it's wrong?"
