Hey little sister
Do you know what time it was
When you finally seen
All your broken dreams
Come crashing down your door
I said they demand an answer
And they demand it quick
Or the questions fade and the wasted days
Come crawling back for more
And I said do you know where the power lies?
And who pulls the strings
Do you know where the power lies?
I said it starts and ends with you
The face of isolation
Well that’s one you recognize
You can’t get straight
It’s a lonely place
And it’s one you do despise
I said boredom is for sale now
And helplessness you feel
It’s a wounded dove
And the hawks are above
Blood splattered on a reel to reel
And I said do you know where the power lies?
And who pulls the strings
Do you know where the power lies?
I said it starts and ends with you
I was almost over
And my world was almost gone
In a sudden rush, I could almost touch
The things that I’d done wrong
My jungle’s made of concrete
Through silence I could feel
My aim is true I will walk on through
Those mountains made of steel
And I said do you know where the power lies?
And who pulls the strings
Do you know where the power lies?
I said it starts and ends with you
I said it starts and ends with you
I said it starts and ends with you
