Lyrics

WHAT ARE WE DOING?
Music & Lyrics: Alexander James Adams

What are we doing?
With our ears plugged in sound?
We cancel out Nature & the world all around-
What are we doing?
With our eyes blind light?
From a screen on a table that dims stars in the night-

WE TAKE WHAT WE WANT FROM THIS LIFE
BUT WHAT HAVE WE RETURNED?
OUR SKIES ARE NOW BLACKENED BY SMOKE
& OUR OCEANS ARE BURNED-
OUR MOUNTAINS ARE FLATTENED & BROKEN
FROM ABOVE & BELOW
GREAT WORDS OF CONCERN HAVE BEEN SPOKEN
BUT VERY FEW DEEDS OF TRUE LOVE
HAVE WE TO SHOW-

What are we doing?
With the tales we are told?
We talk & we worry & invest in pure gold
What are we doing?
When we choose not to walk?
When we trash not recycle? When we twitter not talk?


What are we doing?
When our words fill the air?
We boost up our ratings, does it prove that we care?
What are we doing?
When we kneel down to pray?
Do we beg for God’s mercy, and yet not change our way?


What are we doing?
With our cities so tall?
Our laws so extending & our hearts still so small?
What are we doing?
For the person we see?
Do we crank up our earphones & turn on that TV?

Our birds die of oil, our fish die of air
Our water is poisoned, our forests laid bare
But we still wear our crystals & pray on bent knee
& we still gladly kill you when you disagree!
