Wonderin'

(Album: Pure And Simple - 1994)

I read the headlines an' it makes me so mad
I change the channel cause the news looks bad
A great society is breaking down in front of me

An' our leaders seem so unaware
It's plain to see that they just don't care
We could do so much we gotta get in touch with reality yeah

It's not so hard to see what's going on
But no one answers when I say

I'm wondering is anyone out there?
Wondering does anyone care?
I'm wondering does anyone see what I see?
Or is it just me? Is it just me?

You can see it from coast to coast
An' it's the children who are suffering most
Some with no shoes on their feet, no good food they can eat
Where's the dignity for them?

Here in this land of opportunity
They should deserve a better break

I'm wondering is anyone out there?
Wondering does anyone care?
I'm wondering does anyone see what I see?
Or is it just me? Is it just me?

An' now I pray for you America
Don't let the dream go and slip away

I'm wondering is anyone out there?
Wondering does anyone care?
I'm wondering does anyone see what I see?
