I don't know what to do

I wish there was a way to stop all of this

my personal values feel crushed

like wine grapes crying red in the press

I don't know what to do

I've tried speaking loudly and softly

Spoken out of anger and sadness

wondering all along what it'll cost me

I don't know what to do

I don't know what to do

information is fragmented beyond recognition

Artificial minds push hateful agenda

and zealots are hung up on superstition

I don't know what to do

There are jobs and projects and kids and bills

homes and gardens and chores

and every day brings me horrors anew

I don't know what to do

I don't know what to do

Shelves get more empty and prices inflate

the world grows hotter and hostile

while men in suits tell us it's all okay

I don't know what to do

Children with cancer are being kidnapped

innocent people sent to prisons overseas

while injustice nestles into our laps

I don't know what to do

I don't know what to do

cardboard signs increasingly march and also beg

streets fill with protestors and homeless

carpet pulled up from under their legs

I don't know what to do

the climate is changing and we all are in danger

companies and politicians ignore us

Claiming they're Christians while burning the manger

I don't know what to do

I don't know what to do

Someone tell us what to do

What could even be done

what could make the world new?
