Look Around

Inspired by a new Michael Franti Song Same As It Ever Was.

Every Night, Every Night

I hear the Children Crying

Every Morning, Every Morning

A Mother wakes seeing them Dying

Can't We, Can't We

Do a little Better

Can't We, Can't We

Come Together

Can't We, Can't We

Find a Better Way

Can't We, Can't We

Start A New Day

Every Night, Every Night

There are Children Dying

Every Morning, Every Morning

Another Father wakes Crying

To many Children

Never even get a Chance

To many Children

Never get their Dance

To many Heart Aches

For One World to Hold

To many Mistakes

By people who think they're Bold

Every Night, Every Night

I hear the Children Crying

Every Morning, Every Morning

A Mother wakes seeing them Dying

Do a little Better

Can't We, Can't We

Come Together

Can't We, Can't We

Find a Better Way

Can't We, Can't We

Start A New Day

There has got to be a Better Plan

Than we all somehow signed up For

Now wait, help us Understand

You told us there'd be an Escape Door

Is this really gonna go On

Until my days of walking are Through

Some kind of change, before my days are Gone

Can you tell me what you Want to Do

How Long, How Long, How Long

Can this really go On

Everyone keeps doing the Same Thing

Expecting Different Results

Insanity, that's the Definition

And It's exactly what I see Today

If we learn to use our Intuition

We can change to a Brighter Day

Do a little Better

Can't We, Can't We

Come Together

Can't We, Can't We

Find a Better Way

Can't We, Can't We

Start A New Day

Look around what is Stopping Us

If you do you See

It is only Us

Now who is sufferin' in Insanity

But we can do it, Girl

We can break free of the whole Mess

Yeah, we can do it, Girl

We can realize that we are Blessed

And walk Away

From all that's bringin' us Down

Take a break Today

Go have yourself a look Around

Who Is, Who Is, Who Is

Stoppin' Us

I'm sure you'll See

That it is only Us

Only Us

So Why Don't We

Yeah, we can do it, Girl

We can break free of the whole Mess

Yeah, we can do it, Girl

We can realize that we are Blessed

And walk Away

From all that's bringin' us Down

Take a break Today

Let's go have us a look Around
