Centuries

   This was my first truly finished composition. Changing meter, hard to soft sound, up-tempo with sudden drop back down, nice instrumental near the middle. Very much prog-rock

What is it all about?
What is this all about?
Why are we here?
What are we for?
What is it all about?

How do we get out of here?
How will we get out of here?
Locked in a cage,
Lost behind walls,
How do we get out of here?

Centuries have come and have gone.
Earth's cycles on-going
Here we are,
Ever-progressing

Some things never really change.
Human nature's all the same.
Here I am,
Ever-lamenting

Wars, protests, famine, and strikes
Before we learn to live,
We gotta learn to give

What are you looking for?
What do you think you'll find?
Open your eyes.
What do you see?
What are you looking for?

What is it all about?
What is this all about?
Why are we here?
What are we for?
What are we all about?

Centuries have come and have gone.
Earth's cycles on-going
Here we are
Ever-progressing

Some things never really change.
Human nature's all the same.
Here I am
Ever lamenting

Wars, protests, famine, and strikes
Before we learn to live,
We gotta learn to give

Wars, protests, famine, and strikes
Before we learn to live,
We gotta learn to give
