The 11th Hour

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 then 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

Well 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 in 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

And in a sudden rush I could almost touch

The things that I'd done wrong

My jungle's made of concrete and through the silence I could feel

My aim is true and I will walk on through

These 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!
