| What’s the matter with the place we live in?
|
| Did Mother Nature get it wrong?
|
| A rusted delta in the name of changing
|
| And dig it till it’s dead and gone
|
| Oh, what you gonna tell the children
|
| What you gonna tell the trees
|
| What you gonna tell the spirit
|
| When the heart of the bayou bleed?
|
| Well, there’s a whole lotta something around here
|
| There’s been a whole lotta giving around here
|
| We’ve seen a whole lotta hurting around here
|
| But there’s a whole lotta soul around here
|
| Listen
|
| Maybe we should move the mountains
|
| Maybe we should drain the sea
|
| And wash away the desert
|
| No, that makes no sense to me
|
| But looking it from the outside
|
| It sure don’t look that hard
|
| But tell me how you gonna feel
|
| When I come digging up your backyard?
|
| There’s a whole lotta something around here
|
| There’s a whole lotta giving around here
|
| We’ve seen a whole lotta hurting around here
|
| But there’s a whole lotta soul around here
|
| There’s a whole lotta something around here
|
| And there’s a whole lotta giving around here
|
| We’ve seen a whole lotta hurting around here
|
| But there’s a whole lotta soul around here
|
| Come on |
