What's Goin' On
people unforgiving keep dwelling on
old sorrows i reckon, not woebegone
easier sometimes to continue despair
than put the past behind what's goin' on
there's too little tears to be drawn
the world really prefers not to fawn
contentedly in streaming box unaware
but open eyes see what's goin' on
dominos fall as times events feed upon
long time coming, since before the dawn
marchers marchin' proudly in the square
to tell me now...what's goin' on
people's days in stated transition
changes now speed and grow and spawn
everyone feels they know that they're
going to change what's goin' on
nations and peoples may now catch on
all want to love and depend upon
our souls unread but minds now aware
we tell ourselves what's goin' on
these lines and looks just ramble on
to make more puzzles that set upon
people's lives and loves in disrepair
but still there's somethin' goin' on
didn't see that you, i'd come upon
that fate's just a conclusion forgone
to think maybe there's love in the air
i'll tell you i see what's goin' on
i know you feel like a mute swan
maybe you think i too, am one
ask if i'm really an unanswered prayer
tell me you want what's goin' on
speak to me now, before I'm gone
secret truths you've held tight upon
all fear and joy you want to share
you tell me...what's goin' on
with gentle touch we lay hands on
strangers and those we count upon
life out of touch seems so unfair
going to reach now for what's goin' on
