Music and Lyrics by Jennifer Somers (BMI) and Tyler Somers (BMI)

 

I see people on the corner holding their signs
People in the road forming a picket line
Want the world to know theyÕre here
Trying to make their message clear
I honk for peace and hear them cheer

Watch them smile in my rearview mirror
Keep on driving, just pass on by
IÕll honk again at the next sign
ItÕs hard to face reality, so IÕll just keep on dreaming

ItÕs plain to see, we donÕt have the answers
But we think we know, and so it goes
ItÕs plain to see, we donÕt have it together
But we think we know, so it goes on

Students in the green arms intertwined
Candles lit, swaying side to side
Show the world that weÕre aware
But we're not going anywhere
I canÕt remember which petition I signed
But I sleep pretty well each night
Knowing that IÕve done my share in showing everyone I care
ItÕs hard to face reality, so IÕll just keep on dreaming

ItÕs plain to see, we donÕt have the answers

But we think we know, and so it goes
ItÕs plain to see, we donÕt have it together
But we think we know, so it goes on

But while weÕre standing in the streets
TheyÕre fighting off disease
IÕm in the comfort of my bed
Not dealing with a shred
Of this war between nations and this war against nature
ItÕs a battlefield that IÕve never seen

ItÕs plain to see, we donÕt have the answers
But we think we know, and so it goes
ItÕs plain to see, we donÕt have it together
But we think we know, so it goes on

And so it goes on
O must it go on
