Why You, Why Now, Why Here, Why Me

I am a man who walks through time I see before it started and the end of the line I can see your birth and be a witness to your death Why am I sat here? Perhaps I just need a rest? I know everything there is to know I am power itself let the truth be told I can balance inaccuracies in the human line I see the truth and know the lies There you go asking me questions again Because of my shoe leather or my fountain pen Because I have an air in the way I talk You think it's strange so you want to know more Ok then I'll tell you why I chose this seat in this place of time I am here to make sure that you live The wise guys are coming to this place you live You've witnessed something and they know Your silence will stop the truth from being allowed to live Don't believe me? That's fine I guess But if you don't come with me Your life is going to be more than a mess We've got twenty three minutes before they arrive Come right now with me if you want to live or die in the field out back tonight It's really time for you to decide Still more information needed from me? Why you, why now, why here, why me? But seriously, 338 years from now A small ship appears through high cloud to a waiting crowd With a woman who just saved a planet far away from here With 190 billion lives from death, insanity and fear She managed to set warring parties straight Her name is Juliet Knowles-Hyde That's right Mr Knowles-Hyde If you die tonight They don't live
