So much depends upon the seriousness of efforts
Throwing his weight in full support of the cause
He could only defy his conscience as a last resort
Couldn't reconcile his stand with those who had lost

So much depends on the relationship among the crowd
Opening up to a barrage of pressure against the grain
He could barely take it without the defense he sought
A desire to alleviate the impending sense of pain

So much depends on strength derived from the savior
He had for survival to search his conscience instead
To look for her through friends who were familiar
The elusive lady to unlock the mystery the lady in red
