Once ill-timed remarks were met with
indifference and shrugged shoulders
Once unnescessary concerns
belonged only to my mother
How come when you are aware
changes to you often scare
knowledge turns to grey despair
answers don’t seem to be there
Once my greatest fear was adequate
imagination outshined reality
Once the noise nuisance stopped
whenever the radio was turned off
How come when you are aware
changes to you often scare
knowledge turns to grey despair
answers don’t seem to be there
the piece to the puzzle is missing
the piece to the puzzle isn’t there
Once I thought all people basically
were alike in attitude to life
brotherliness would bring parts together
not blow them apart
Even though you’d like to care
bad things don’t just disappear
knowledge seems to turn to fear
the piece to the puzzle is missing
the piece to the puzzle isn’t there
the piece to the puzzle is missing
the piece to the puzzle isn’t there
piece to the puzzle is missing
if the piece just can’t be found
the puzzle might be of a kind
that can’t be solved
