Mother, mother
There's too many of you crying
Oh, brother, brother, brother
There's far too many of you dying
That's Right

You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today

Oh my father, father
We don't need to escalate
You see war is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today
Barricades, can't block our way.
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me
So you can see

Oh what's going on
What's going on
Yeah what's going on
Ahh what's going on

What's going on in a world filled with pain
Where's the love for which we pray
What's going on
When our children can't play
Homeless can't eat
There's got to be a better way
What's going on
When we politically blind
Can't see the signs of endangered times
What's going on

Ah tell me
What's going on in the world today
I'd rather be dead
Than turn my head away
We gotta first world vision too comfy to lift our
Hands in the air and cry for a switch

Father, father
Everybody thinks we're wrong
Oh, but who are they to judge us
Together we can all be strong
United we stand, United we fall

Oh you know we've got to find a way
To bring some understanding here today
Barricades can't block our way
Don't punish me with brutality

Baby talk to me
So you can see

Yeah, what's going on
Hey, what's going on
Somebody tell me what's going on
I'll tell you what's goin' on -uh

What's going on 'cross seas
Every minute a child dies by this disease
In record numbers indeed
Got momma's crying out please
My baby hold on
My child ain't done nothing wrong
Still I want to hollar
Ask them why they don't bother
Oh no, oh no
Make me turn to my father
And ask him why they all got a trapped soul

Somebody tell me what's going on
(what's going on)
We got human beings using humans for bombs
But everyone wanna live
Don't nobody really want to die
You feeling me right
I can't be watching people die
(die)
And watching people cry
Let me break it down for a minute
If there's enough room here for you and me
There's plenty of room for some humanity

Somebody tell me what's going on
(what's going on)
Somebody tell me what's going on
(what's going on)
Somebody tell me what's going on
(what's going on)
Somebody tell me what's going on
(what's going on)
Somebody tell me what's going on

Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

Your words to me just a whisper
 Your face is so unclear
 I try to pay attention
 Your words just disappear
 
 'Cause its always raining in my head
 Forget all the things I should have said
 
 So I speak to you in riddles because
 My words get in my way. I smoke the
 whole thing to my head and feel it
 wash away 'cause i can't take anymore
 of this, I want to come apart.
 or dig myself a little hole inside
 your precious heart
 
 'Cause its always raining in my head
 Forget all the things I should have said
 
 I am nothing more than a little boy inside
 That cries out for attention
 though I always try to hide
 'Cause I talk to you like children,
 Though I don't know how I feel
 But I know I'll do the right thing
 If the right thing is revealed
 
 'Cause its always raining in my head
 Forget all the things I should have said

I've been sittin here
Tryin to find myself
I get behind myself
I need to rewind myself
Lookin for the payback
Listen for the playback
They say that every man bleeds just like me
And I feel like number one
Yet I'm last in line
I watch my youngest son
And it helps to pass the time
I take too many pills it helps to ease the pain
I made a couple of dollar bills, but still I feel the same
Everybody knows my name
They say it way out loud
A lot of folks f*** with me
It's hard to hang out in crowds
I guess that's the price you pay
To be some big shot like I am
Out strecthed hands and one night stands
Still I can't find love

And when your walls come tumbling down
I will always be around

Yeah
As it...hey

And when your walls come tumbling down
I will always be around

People don't know about the things I say and do
They don't understand about the things that I've been through
It's been so long since I've been home
I've been gone, I've been gone for way too long
Maybe I forgot all things I miss
Oh somehow I know there's more to life than this
I said it too many times
And I still stand firm
You get what you put in
And people get what they deserve
Still I ain't seen mine
No I ain't seen mine
I've been giving just ain't been gettin
I've been walking that there line
So I think I'll keep a walking
With my head held high
I'll keep moving on and only God knows why

Only God
Only God
Only God knows why, why, why, why
Only God...knows...why, why, why
Only God knows why
Take me to the river edge
Take me to the river, hey hey hey

I kept the right ones out
And let the wrong ones in
Had an angel of mercy to see me through all my sins
There were times in my life
When I was goin' insane
Tryin to walk through
The pain
When I lost my grip
And I hit the floor
Yeah, I thought I could leave, but couldn't get out the door
I was so sick and tired
Of livin' a lie
I was wishin that I
Would die

chorus

It's Amazing
With the blink of an eye you finally see the light
It's Amazing
When the moment arrives that you know you'll be alright
It's Amazing
And I'm sayin' a prayer for the desperate hearts tonight

That one last shot's a Permanent Vacation
And how high can you fly with broken wings?
Life's a journey not a destination
And I just can't tell just what tomorrow brings

You have to learn to crawl
Before you learn to walk
But I just couldn't listen to all that righteous talk
I was out on the street
Just tryin' to survive
Scratchin' to stay
Alive

tried to post in your blog entry.it was locked for any comment.your last blog entry titled "the end is here." glad to see you found that.i'm on a similar quest myself but have to come to a definite point yet but i'm getting there.your happiness is what counts.good to see you want to live right.your on the right road.my aunt died yesterday and her birthday was today.she never did live right and managed to keep a lot of the family angry especially in the last couple years and we didn't talk.she took off with all of my grandmothers things that were left to me in 2002 when my grandmother passed.moved a few hundred miles away.i didn't persue the matter back then and i let her have the things just to keep the peace.well i'm going to be getting a few keepsakes finally and i've decided anyway to forgive her even though she did quite a few bad things left unprintable.its sad that only one out of her three children will be there for the burial but thats what happens when you live the wrong life.her death was unexpected.she died alone.it took three or four days before anyone to find her where she lived.seems if someone would've been there maybe she could've been saved.got me to really thinking about a lot of things.sure does pay to live right.i don't always do that.i'm one of those people that others say is a very nice person.i go out of my way to be nice.i don't live right a lot of times but thats my own battle with myself not others.i'd love to be able to attain peace but thats hard with screaming kids,looming bills and two wisdom teeth that are killing me,lol.i do think it does pay though to live right and do the best you can for yourself and do others the way you would like to be done.i hope you find happiness in the future and see ya again here at the post.....
