What Am I

(album: Foreigner - 2020)

What am I supposed to do, supposed to do?
What am I supposed to do, supposed to do?

I watched the news this morning
Another town has fallen
The people still are fighting
Their stories told in pictures
And nothing ever changes
So what's the point in trying?

I dream of a day
When the walls come down
I hope for a time
When the lost are found
We thought we had it all
But the answers
Are still a world away

So what am I, what am I, what am I
What am I to do, what am I to do now?
So what am I, what am I, what am I
When's there's so much to lose now?

And so you're out there running
Searching for a shelter
Only to meet nothing that wants you
You've swam across the waters
And travelled through the deserts
Trying to find a new home

I dream of a day
When the walls come down
I hope for a time
When the lost are found
We thought we had it all
But the answers
Are still a world away

So what am I, what am I, what am I
What am I to do, what am I to do now?
So what am I, what am I, what am I
When's there's so much to lose now?

We try to sympathise
With different walks of life
The some that are denied
Every human right
When it's so far away
It's easy to lose that feeling

But what am I supposed to do, supposed to do?
What am I supposed to do?
(What am I supposed to do, supposed to do?)
Tell me
Tell me
Tell me
Tell me

So what am I, what am I, what am I
What am I to do, what am I to do now?
So what am I, what am I, what am I
When's there's so much to lose now?
When there's so much to lose now

So what am I, what am I, what am I (What am I, supposed to do, supposed to do?)
What am I to do, what am I to do now?
So what am I, what am I, what am I, (What am I, when there's so much to lose)
When's there's so much to lose now? (When there's so much, to lose)
