Lyrics for Hymn

Why do we waste our lives Why do we stay asleep So many confused words So many total disasters there are We all try to change the world But change has to come from ourselves So much ignored advice So many drowned and wasting away Everybody wants to be free But before this can be You've got to learn, learn how to see Just from what it is that you want to be free Why do we waste our lives Wy do we stay asleep So many confused words So many total disasters there are
