'저스틴 헤이워드'가 작곡한 음반의 첫번째 트랙인 'Question'은
베트남 전쟁에서 영향 받아 죽음과 전쟁에 대해서 진지하게 묻고 있는 곡으로
이 곡은 음반 제작이 한창 진행 중이던 4월 24일에 싱글로 먼저 발표되어
영국 싱글 차트에서 2위 까지 진출하는 히트를 거두었던 곡이기도 하다.
이는 무디 블루스가 1964년에 발표하여 영국 싱글 차트에서 1위에 올랐던 싱글
'Go Now' 이후 최고의 성과였으며 또한 무디 블루스의 시도가
제대로 적중하였음을 증명하는 곡이기도 하다.
저스틴 헤이워드의 격렬한 어쿠스틱 기타 연주와 '마이크 파인더'의
멜로트론 연주가 아름답게 흐르는 'Question'
즐감하시길...

Question
Why do we never get an answer
When we're knocking at the door
With a thousand million questions
About hate and death and war?
'Cos when we stop and look around us,
There is nothing that we need,
In a world of persecution
That is burning in its greed.
Why do we never get an answer
When we're knocking at the door
Because the truth is hard to swallow
That's what the war of love is for
It's not the way that you say it
When you do those things to me
It's more the way that you mean it
When you tell me what will be
And when you stop and think about it
You won't believe it's true
That all the love you've been giving
Has all been meant for you.
I'm looking for someone to change my life,
I'm looking for a miracle in my life
And if you could see what it's done to me,
To lose the love I knew
Could safely lead me through.
Between the silence of the mountains,
And the crashing of the sea,
There lies a land I once lived in,
And she's waiting there for me,
But in the grey of the morning,
My mind becomes confused,
Between the dead and the sleeping,
And the road that I must choose.
I'm looking for someone to change my life,
I'm looking for a miracle in my life
And if you could see what it's done to me,
To lose the love I knew,
Could safely lead me to
The land that I once knew,
To learn as we grow old
The secrets of our soul.
It's not the way that you say it
When you do those things to me
It's more the way you really mean it
When you tell me what will be
Why do we never get an answer
When we're knocking at the door
With a thousand million questions
About hate and death and war?
'Cos when we stop and look around us,
There is nothing that we need,
In a world of persecution
That is burning in its greed.
