Battlestar Galactica Verse 1 How do I walk through the world Operating the way I do? Everybody’s looking for something Something to pull them through Looking for a partner Looking for a place to hide Looking for somebody else To regulate what’s locked inside Something to fill the silence Something to occupy the time Something to distract the mind Something to make it feel alright But I’ve already filled myself I’m not looking I’m scanning Chorus Everything is Battlestar Galactica Everything is war I don’t see an ordinary world Like I did before I’m scanning every soldier I’m looking for the spark I’m looking through the surface Trying to find the warrior in the dark Battlestar Galactica That’s the way I see I’m not looking for somebody I’m looking for the soldiers Inside humanity Verse 2 My mind has been altered From the everyday routine When war hits you in the chest You can’t unsee what you have seen There is no ordinary anymore No simple passing day Every person has a story Every soul has something waiting I look at my countrymen I look at brothers in arms I look beneath the surface Past the faces and the scars And I wonder who’s inside them What will rise when something breaks? What kind of fire lives beneath The choices that a person makes? Chorus Everything is Battlestar Galactica Everything is war I don’t see an ordinary world Like I did before I’m scanning every soldier I’m looking for the spark I’m looking through the surface Trying to find the warrior in the dark Battlestar Galactica That’s the way I see I’m not looking for somebody I’m looking for the soldiers Inside humanity Verse 3 I don’t know what will trigger it I don’t know what will start The sirens could be silent While the battle’s in the heart But when the fire alarm rings When the warning lights ignite When everything goes blazing Who will rise into the fight? That’s what I’m watching for That’s what I want to know Who becomes a soldier When the pressure starts to grow? Bridge You think I’m looking for attention I’m looking for your soul You think I’m looking for something I’m looking for the whole You think I’m wandering aimlessly But I’m reading every sign Looking for the warrior Waiting underneath the mind Breakdown Scanning Scanning Who are you? Who are you When everything is burning? Who are you When there’s nowhere left to run? Who are you When the moment comes? Because somewhere inside you There’s a soldier There’s a fire There’s something That was waiting For the call Final Chorus Everything is Battlestar Galactica Everything is war I don’t see an ordinary world Like I did before I’m scanning every soldier I’m looking for the spark I’m looking through the surface Trying to find the warrior in the dark Battlestar Galactica Now I finally see I’m not looking for something I’m looking for you I’m singling out my soldiers One by one I see the fire I see the warrior I see the one When the alarms go off When the whole world starts to shake We’ll know exactly Who we are When the fire wakes.
