What's the point?

When you see the cause,
But are unable to reason.
When you hear the call,
But are unable to listen.
When you know it's wrong,
But cannot make it right.
When you feel hope and joy,
But are unable to remember it.
When you can earn well,
But have no time to spend it.
When you have a fear,
But are unable to face it.
When you have pain,
But are unable to ease it.

What's the point?
When you have a life,
But cannot live it.
When you have a dream,
But cannot achieve it.
When you have love,
But cannot give it.
When you have the words,
But cannot express it.
When you bare your soul,
But nobody notices it.

What's the point?
Is there a point at all?

SEEKING REVIVAL

I once walked on the wild side
Among roads so so green
I met those folks who we all pass by
But have never really seen

They've gone now
They've gone now
They've lost their dreams!

I spoke to them of Woodstock
Rainbow, R.E.M and Queen
Where did they go
They're the best it's ever been

They've gone now
They've gone now
They're lost in dreams!

I asked them for stories
Of gigs and fans and scenes
Those wise wise blokes then began
Performing their routine

But, they've gone now
They've gone now
They were only ever dreams!

They've gone now
They've gone now
Someone please revive the dream!
