What's going on
Tell me
People dying, people crying - Lord help us
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) What's going on (what's going on)
Yeah what's going on (what's going on) Ahh what's going on (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 to complete
To lift our hands in the air and cry for a switch
Father, father
Father help us, come on
Everybody thinks we're wrong
Oh, but who are they to judge us (Who are they to judge us)
Together we can all be strong
United we stand, divided we fall
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
Somebody tell me
What's going on-oh yeah yeah
What's going on 'cross seas
Every minute a child dies by this disease
In record numbers indeed
Your momma's crying out please My baby hold on
My child ain't done nothing wrong
Still I want to holler Ask them why they don't bother
Oh no, oh no Make me turn to my father And ask him why they all
got us trapped souls
I can feel what was bothering Marvin
Why his words forever remain Dealing with these modern day problems
'Cause of ignorance surrounding me And my constituents
Too many infected Too many lives diminishing Nobody say
Protestants, Jews, Blacks, And Whites, Latinos and Asians Pray together
Less fight We better unite As genocide chemical war And the rich and the poor
Know that God delivers a cure
It's a shame our reality is devastating
People praying for a cure
Dying while they 're waiting Ask the Lord for the comfort
And strength to face it All the kids with dreams
Won't get the chance to chase it Makes me sad
Think about the lives they would've had
Think about the orphan babies Got no moms
and dads How can we sit back and not try to make it right
We gotta come together We gotta fight for life
Somebody tell me what's going on (What's going on)
We got human beings using humans for a bomb
But everyone wanna live Don't nobody really want to die
You feeling me, right? (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 for me
There's plenty of room for some humanity
Tell me what's going on You got to tell me (What's going on)
Tell me (What's going on) Tell me (What's going on)
