Problems

Solutions

Problems

Man, I got problems

And I am number one

In need of the solution

To get it all done

Man, I got problems

And Ego is his name

Hurt and fear are reigning

Desperation just the same

Humanity’s got problems

Compassion nowhere near

Resounding desperation

Listen, listen, can you hear?

Humanity’s got problems

Love and forgiveness eluding

Miscommunication rampant

Anger always exuding

Man, I got some answers

I am the solution

Clearing out the clutter

Seeking resolution

Man, I got some answers

Humility is his name

Pride always fighting hard

He’ll be sorry that he came

Humanity needs answers

It's screaming through the ages

History marches forward

Adding to the pages

Humanity needs answers

Help us understand

We have been misguided

Holding the wrong hand

We hold the answers

All we need to do is try

Filling in the gaps

And allowing each to cry

We hold the answers

It’s not difficult to see

If you’re willing to remove the blinders

And follow one another’s lead

You and I can do this

The hurt is temporary

No one will see us coming

The pairing, quite contrary

You and I will do this

The time is now for change

Holding hands tightly

Nothing will ever be the same
