I wondered why I had the blues, so I turned on the evening news
Children runnin' from their school, because of some damn fool had no morals he must prove
Another kid laid in the blood, another town drowned in the flood
Just a tragic trail of tears, lessons not learned through the years, heaven save us from our fears
Hope is just ahead, sorrows just behind us
From what the good book says, "The truth will never find us"
Who's to say what we shall find, I guess the proof for sure in time
Today, let's keep the dreamer's faith, surely hope is just ahead
Yeah, you gotta believe, gotta keep your faith
Get down on your knees you gotta believe
People fightin' in the streets, millions with no food to eat
How much longer can we last, if we learn nothing from our past, these are the questions that I ask
