I Need To Know - Frank Wildhorn

I need to know

The nature of the demons that possess man's soul

I need to know

Why man's content to let them make him less than whole

Why does he revel in murder and madness

What is it makes him be less than he should

Why is he doomed not to reach his potential

His soul is black when he turns his back upon good

I need to find

A way to get inside the tortured mind of man

I need to try

To separate the good and evil if I can

One thing is certain-the evil is stronger

Good fights a hopeless and desperate fight

I must find ways of adjusting the balance

To bring him back from the empty black edge of night

I need to go

Where no man has ventured before

To search for the key to the door

That will end all this tragic and senseless decay

But how to go

I need to know

I need to learn

The secrets of the mind that we can not discern

I need to learn

The things that make men pass the point of no return

Why does a wise man take leave of his senses

Where is that fine line where sanity melts

When does intelligence give way to madness

A moment comes when a man becomes something else

I need to know

Why man plays this strange double game

His hand always close to the flame

It's a deal with the Devil he cannot disclaim

But what's his aim

I need to know

Dear God guide me

Show me how to succeed

With your wisdom inside me

Henry Jekyll will follow where ever you lead

I need to see

The truth other men cannot see

To be things that others can't be

Give me the courage to go where no angel will go

And I will go

I need to know
