[02:52.29] What if someone said promise lies ahead
[02:57.19] Hopes are high in certain scientific circles
[03:02.44] Life won't have to end
[03:05.02] You could walk again
[03:13.28] What if someone said problems lie ahead
[03:18.17] They've uncovered something highly controversial
[03:22.69] The right to life is strong
[03:25.84] Can't you see it's wrong
[03:33.32] Human kind has reached a turning point
[03:37.74] Poised for conflict at ground zero
[03:41.18] Ready for a war
[03:44.60] Do we look to our unearthly guide
[03:48.47] Or to white coat heroes
[03:51.75] Searching for a cure
[03:55.38] Turn to the light
[03:59.98] Don't be frightened of the shadows it creates
[04:06.12] Turn to the light
[04:12.43] Turning away would be a terrible mistake
[04:27.38] Anarchistic moral vision, industries of death
[04:32.06] Facing violent opposition, unmolested breath
[04:36.86] Ethic inquisitions breed, antagonistic views
[04:41.54] Right wing sound bite premonitions in a labyrinth of rules
[04:47.71] Are you justified?
[04:55.76] Justified in taking life to save life
[05:01.13] Life to save life, life to save life
[05:09.60] This embryonic clay wrapped in fierce debate
[05:16.20] Would be thrown away or otherwise discarded
[05:21.92] Some of us believe it may hold the key
[05:27.76] To treatment of disease and secrets highly guarded
[05:33.69] Are you justified?
[05:42.93] Justified in taking life to save life
[05:47.97] Life to save life, life to save life
[05:57.04] Human kind has reached a turning point
[06:02.09] Poised for conflict at ground zero
[06:05.54] Ready for a war
[06:08.84] Do we look to our unearthly guide
[06:13.87] Or to white coat heroes
[06:17.13] Searching for a cure
[06:20.65] Turn to the light
[06:25.19] Don't be frightened of the shadows it creates
[06:31.91] Turn to the light
[06:37.86] Turning away would be a terrible mistake
[06:44.03] We're reaching
[06:47.03] But have we gone too far
[07:41.06] Harvesting existence only to destroy
[07:48.57] Carelessly together we are sliding
[07:56.13] Someone else's future, four days frozen still
[08:03.76] Someone else's fate we are deciding
[08:10.86] Miracle potential, sanctity of life
[08:18.62] Faced against each other we're divided
[08:26.48] Should we push the boundaries or should we condemn
[08:33.86] Moral guilt and science have collided
[08:58.01] Turn to the light
[09:04.97] We defy our own mortality these days
[09:12.97] Turn to the light
[09:19.65] Pay attention to the questions we have raised
