Lyrics

Today when I look around in the world
What do I see?
I see footprints that man have left on the sand
While walking through time
I see fruits of our ambitions
Fragments of our imaginations
And I ask myself
When will it end?
When will it end?
It is plain to see
Universally this land is not bountiful as it was
Simply because
In his quest for success
Nothing stands in man's way
All rivers run dry
Soon the birds won't fly
The mountains will be no longer high
And when I really think of it
I just wonder why
Oh why
I see charity deplored
Equal rights totally ignored
Wisdom and ingenuity
Working in accord
Simply to afford
Such inventions as thermal nuclear warfare
And environmental warfare
And I wonder now
Where do we go from here?
Prophets everywhere
Gaze upon the horizon
And declare that judgment will come
As the savage hands
Of unscrupulous men
File everything pass by
Time is running out
As we eat and drink
Species at the brink of being extinct
And I think
No one can deny
That the price of progress is high
Real high
I see consciousness as bait
As today we live recklessly
Money make egos inflate
And thereby create
A turbulent state
I see a struggle between the sexes
New hang-ups and old complexes
Now the question is
Right in context
What shall be next?
I've already seen
This world have come divided
Between race, color, creed and class
And some of the things
The scripture predict
Truthfully come to pass
Soil that wouldn't bear
Children making children
To be a part of this growing mass
And I ask
If this is progress
How long will it last?
