"Someone To Talk To" lyrics

Someone To Talk To

Now my mind has been wandering
Been sailing so high
Past the smoke blackened buildings
And the smoke blackened sky

And the things I've been seeing
Lord, they've got me so scared
And I call out
"Won't somebody please stop and listen?"
But nobody cares

And I've gotta find someone to talk to
I've gotta find a safe place to stay
Gotta reach out on feel
Something that's real
Before it all crumbles away
No, nobody here
Nobody here
Nobody hear what I say

I see blue crystal waters
Turning to mud
Men killing their brothers
While they're crying for love

Lord, we're raping the forests
And we're poisoning the air
And I call out
"Won't somebody look what we're doing?"
But nobody cares

And I've gotta find someone to talk to
I've gotta find safe place to stay
Gotta reach out and feel
Something that's real
Before it all crumbles away
Don't nobody here
Nobody here
Nobody hear what I say
