(After listening, I was inspired to write a song.)
O I was just now thinkin’ the same
Things, O things’ve gotta change
O yes I was just thinkin’, thinkin’
Things, O things’ve gotta change
Man, man, man stepped upon the moon
Now he’s just waitin’ for somethin’ to change
Man, man, man, man, man, man, man’s
Just waitin’- lookin’ up, waitin’ for some change
O we the people, people, we've been lookin' up
Lookin' up `n lookin' up ‘n thinkin' it ain't happenin'
O we the people, people, we've been lookin' up
And we're still a lookin’, just lookin’ up `n waitin’
O I was just now thinkin’ the same
Things, O things’ve gotta change
O yes I was just thinkin’, thinkin’
Things, O things’ve gotta change
Man, O man invented, man invented man
O he’s imagined, we’ve imagined that he can
Man, O man’s imagined, man’s imagined man
While lookin’ up ‘n stumblin’ through the sand
Man’s a nearin’ doom a stumblin’ headlong
Never lookin’ down, too busy starin’ up
Staggerin’ a staggerin’ man’s almost gone
Man’s a staggerin’ n stumblin’ right along
O I was just now thinkin’ the same
Things, O things’ve gotta change
O yes I was just thinkin’, thinkin’
Things, O things’ve gotta change
Just the other day a neighbor got some news
When the white car pulled up's when the pain began
They said he didn't suffer, neighbor said it hurt like hell
His son over there a stumblin’ through the sand
Lookin’ up, lookin’ up instead o' lookin’ down
The pain stayed as the white car pulled away
And his knees went to bucklin' to the ground
O the moon, the moon was nowhere to be found.
O I was just now thinkin’... the same...
