My mind has been wandering, been sailing so high.
A E A
Past the smoke blackened buildings, through the smoke blackened sky.
A E A D A D
And the things I've been seeing, they've got me so scared.
A E C A D A
And I call out "Won't somebody please stop and listen!", but nobody cares.
Chorus
B D E A B D E
And I've gotta find someone to talk to, and I've gotta find a safe place to
A
stay.
D A B
I've gotta reach out and feel, something that's real before it all crumbles
E
away.
D E (let ring)
No nobody hears, nobody hears, nobody hears what I say.

And men killing their brothers, while they're crying for love.

Lord we're raping the forests, and we're poisoning the air.

And I cry out "WON'T SOMEBODY LOOK WHAT WE'RE DOING!", but nobody cares.
