Tell Me When (For all the good people out there struggling)

Post by geoff+evans »

This is a song/poem about the frustration, despair and latent hope that a lot of working people share and feel about the state this world is in.
We're all looking for answers to questions - is there anybody out there in control?

Tell Me When

Tell me when - will the world stop turning?
Tell me when - we’ll talk not fight?
Oh when - the stars stop shining
We’ll walk - in peace and light

Tell me why - must we hurt each other?
Why children - have to die?
Oh because of hate my brother
Because there’s no truth - just lies

Tell me when –oh when?
Will all our troubles end?
Tell me when, Lord - will all our troubles end?

Listen to your voice - in the falling rain
Your words of wisdom - echoes in my pain
Your light - shines above - in a sky so blue
Don’t need gold - or diamond rings - to be true

Tell me when - will the world stop bleeding?
When - will hatred grow cold?
Oh when - tell us when Lord we’re pleading?
When you - and I grow too old

Tell me when – oh when?
Will all our troubles end?
Tell me when, Lord - will all our troubles end?

Tell me when –oh when?
Will all our troubles end?
Tell me when, Lord - will all our troubles end?
Let this day be ....
..... the start of a new beginning

A very caring plea for answers, Geoff.

Thanks .... It's a cry from a desperate soul to soul-less desperates....
.... We ask for answers- they just tell us lies
.... politicians -don't you hear our cries?!
Let this day be ....
..... the start of a new beginning
