The 11th Hour

Alright
Hey little sister do you know what time it was
When you finally seen all your broken dreams
Come crashing down your door
I say, they demand an answer and they demand it quick
Or the questions fade and the wasted days
Come crawling back for more

And I say do you know where the power lies
And who pulls the strings?
Do you know where the power lies?
I say, it starts and ends with you

The face of isolation
Well that's one you recognize
When you can't get straight
It's a lonely place and
It's one you do despise

I say, boredom is for sale now
And the helplessness you feel
Is a wounded dove and the hawks are above
Blood splattered on a reel to reel

And I say do you know where the power lies
And who pulls the strings?
Do you know where the power lies?
I say, it starts and ends with you

I was almost over, my world was almost gone
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 say do you know where the power lies
And who pulls the strings?
Do you know where the power lies?
I say it starts and ends with you

Oh, I say it starts and ends with you
I say it starts and ends with you
