I close my eyes, tell us why must we suffer
Release your hands, for your will drags us under
My legs grow tired, tell us where must we wander
How can we carry on if redemption's beyond us?
To all of my children in whom Life flows abundant
To all of my children to whom Death hath passed his judgement
The soul yearns for honor, and the flesh the hereafter
Look to those who walked before to lead those who walk after
Shining is the Land's light of justice
Ever flows the Land's well of purpose
Walk free, walk free, walk free, believe...
The Land is alive, so believe...

Sleep on
Now open your eyes while our plight is repeated
Still deaf to our cries, lost in hope we lie defeated
Our souls have been torn, and our bodies forsaken
Bearing sins of the past, for our future is taken
War born of strife, these trials persuade us not
(Feel what? Learn what?)
Words without sound, these lies betray our thoughts
(See what? Hear what?)
Mired by a plague of doubt, the Land, she mourns
Judgement binds all we hold to a memory of scorn
Tell us why, given Life, we are meant to die, helpless in our cries?

Thy Life is a riddle, to bear rapture and sorrow
To listen, to suffer, to entrust unto tomorrow
In one fleeting moment, from the Land doth life flow
Yet in one fleeting moment, for anew it doth grow
In the same fleeting moment
Thou must live, die, and know

Notes
Answers is the main theme of Final Fantasy XIV, composed by Nobuo Uematsu with lyrics by Yaeko Sato and Michael-Christopher Koji Fox. Vocals were performed by Susan Calloway, who was chosen based on her work with Distant Worlds. It is also the theme of Bahamut and the BGM of The Final Coil of Bahamut - Turn 4.
The first verse is heard in the 1.0 quests Shapeless Melody and Sundered Skies.
The NPC Jainelette played the first few chords of Answers on her harp.
During the final days of Version 1.X, after the final save on October 31st, 2012, a distorted version of Answers replaced all outdoor field and battle music. Calloway's acapella vocals could be heard filtered to varying degrees, accompanied only by an ominous, aetherial rumble. This track has been referred to by fans as "Dalamud Answers".
