so where is all this going 

does anybody know 

shed a thousand tears 

but what have we got to show 

crime and hate and war 

they're still there all around 

giving our hearts so long 

are we screaming without a sound 

are we making a difference 

or wasting our time 

can you tell me? 

Well now I'm getting older 

will I ever see 

the peace on earth that starts 

with you and me 

well if all the world's a stage 

then I've got my part to play 

are we making a difference 

or wasting our time 

can you tell me? 

Is it the greenest field 

don't you think it's kind of sick 

to lead a pointless life 

call yourself a different kind 

but do you even try 

well I'm not pointing my fingers at you 

there's just so much that we can do 

and all you can do in life is try 

to light up the sky
