Look around and see the world
Taking every boy and girl
Nothing's wrong and nothing's right
Stand in the way, put up a fight
See the war and look around
Who'll pick these people off the ground
I feel so helpless everyday
Does it help when I pray?

So, today, today
What's going on, what's going on?
Don't look away
Today, today
What's going on, what's going on?
'Cos I need to say

Turn the news on every hour
Don't care about the weather showers
Take it in, brush it off
Come inside, make it stop
Climb the ladder, make a living
What's the point of the giving
What can just one person do
If I gave all that I had for you?

Fast forward to see what this is for
Something's better for us there's got to be more

So, today, today
What's going on, what's going on?
Don't look away
Today, today
What's going on, what's going on?
'Cos I need to say

How long will it take for us to awake?
How long will it take?
How long will it take for us to awake?
How long will it take?
How long will it take for us to awake?
How long will it take?
How long will it take for us to awake?
How long will it take?

So, today, today
What's going on, what's going on?
'Cos I need to say
Today, today
What's going on, what's going on?
Don't look away
